DO FRONT OR REAR CAR TYRES WEAR OUT FASTER

Recently, we had a customer complaining that their rear tyres wear out quicker than the front tyres. Any Car Towing’s experts sat down with the customer and explained the reason. But it got us thinking that every car owner might wonder why their front or rear tyres wear out quicker. So, today’s blog post will address this issue.

WHICH TIRES WEAR OUT FASTER?

The answer depends on the vehicle’s type. If it is a rear-wheel drive, the rear tyres will wear out quicker. The opposite applies if your car is a front-wheel drive. The reason is that the automobile sends all the drivetrain forces to those tires. If you exert high power, the tires will wear out quicker than usual.

However, there are several things that you can do to reduce tyre wear. Let us investigate them in detail.

HOW TO REDUCE TYRE WEAR?

Please keep in mind that the tires come with a fixed life. So, even if you do not drive around much, tires will start to crack and wear out when they reach their end of life. Usually, tyres last a maximum of five years. There are cases where tire sellers in Australia and other countries sell old tires to customers.

For example, they are selling tyres manufactured in 2016 or 2017 in 2021. Therefore, we recommend that the buyers always check the date of manufacturing on the tire before purchasing it.

Tyre Pressure

Unfortunately, people do not realize the importance of maintaining the recommended tire pressure. They keep driving around with under or over-inflated tires. Only if they knew that they were causing irreparable damage to the tires they would avoid it altogether. The correct pressure ensures optimal road contact.

We recommend keeping the tires at the recommended pressure level to avoid issues. Modern vehicles come with a built-in tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) which alerts the driver towards changes in the air pressure. Please do not ignore it.

Driving Habits

People are not ready to accept it, but driving habits substantially impact the tyres’ life. How? When you accelerate aggressively, take sharp turns, or apply brakes suddenly, you are putting the tires under undue stress. This stress will cause the tires to wear out quickly. So, always drive safely and responsibly. Avoid making sharp turns or braking suddenly. It would be best to maintain a safe distance between yourself and the vehicle in front.

Wheel Alignment

If your wheels are not aligned correctly, they can cause premature wear and tear. So, invest in periodic wheel alignment. Driving over potholes or in rough areas tends to cause misalignment quicker than usual. One way to know if the wheels are misaligned is to see if the car sways to one side.

Tyre Rotation

We have already covered tyre rotation in ample detail before. Tyre rotation helps prolong the life of each tire. Experts suggest that car owners must rotate their tires every 8,000 km to 10,000 km. If you have not done so, you can contact Any Car Towing. Our tire services cover tire rotation.
