As an owner of an INEOS Grenadier, you need the tires on your vehicle to stay in top shape. Your off-roading adventures will not be the same if the tires do not have the right tread depth. Do you know what causes tires to wear unevenly? Did you know your tire tread wear has a significant impact on the overall performance of your vehicle on Fort Worth roads?
Uneven tire tread wear can cause misalignment when traveling in Dallas, worse gas mileage, worse handling on Plano streets, and even issues with your axles. Driving conditions, your driving habits, extreme weather, and other factors cause uneven tire wear.
You can take a few precautions to prevent uneven tread wear. Read our guide to find out more information about what causes tires to wear unevenly. In the event you need new tires, our service team is more than happy to help.
Tire treads grip the road better by keeping the right amount of rubber on the pavement while shunting water away from the tire surface. When off-roading or coming in contact with wet and slick conditions in Dallas, the surface of your tires needs as much contact with the road as possible.
However, if your tire tread wears unevenly, portions lose contact with the surface. You could lose traction, making it difficult to properly control your vehicle. There are two primary causes of uneven tread wear.
It is vital to keep your tires at the proper inflation levels. Consult the owner’s manual or look at the permanently affixed label on the driver-side door frame will tell you the right pounds per square inch (psi) for your tires. Turning, weight distribution, braking, handling, and other tasks take place without much effort because your car rides smoothly when the tires are inflated properly. However, when over or underinflation happens, it may cause your tire tread to wear unevenly. Eventually, you will notice that your vehicle feels a bit unstable. It may take longer to stop. Turning might be harder. Off-roading becomes more difficult.
As time continues, the treads wear faster on the tire that is not inflated properly. Eventually, one tire will have a bald patch, and the others will have decent treads. Always check your tires at least once a week, especially in extremely hot or cold weather.
When your wheels are not aligned, steering, bearings, and joints can weaken, causing major problems in the future. However, short-term issues include uneven tire tread wear and possible blowouts. Hitting potholes, curbs, and even debris like large branches and rocks could throw your vehicle wheels out of alignment.
You will notice wheel misalignment if your INEOS Grenadier drifts to one side without you turning the steering wheel. We highly recommend having this issue fixed before it becomes a major problem that causes other things to break.
