Problems with your tyres and wheels can stem from various underlying issues. Here are the most common causes:
Wheel misalignment can cause uneven tyre wear and steering issues. This misalignment can occur due to hitting a pothole, kerb, or as a result of normal wear and tear over time.
Misaligned wheels can lead to poor handling and increased tyre wear if not corrected, potentially affecting your car's overall safety.
Issues with the vehicle's suspension system, such as worn-out shock absorbers or struts, can lead to uneven tyre wear. A compromised suspension system can also impact the comfort and control of your vehicle.
