Driving Lessons & Tire Care : How to Interpret Tire Wear

[monstermiataman]

you forgot to mention that the "wavey" tire wear could be shocks/struts ive even seen it caused by wheel bearings

[MrCheez1]

@monstermiataman good point im only watching this right now to get other ideas i just replaced a wheel bearing on my girlfriends car cuz it was humming like they do when they go bad so i replaced the one side but it still looked relatively new like it was recently done so i put it on the other side thinkin maybe i did the wrong side. still hums. i checked the tires and its got a pretty bad wavey pattern goin on. do you think that could be causing the humming??

[monstermiataman]

@MrCheez1 yes it is also how many miles are on the car and what kind of driving habits it could be the shosck and or struts

[MrCheez1]

@monstermiataman yea the struts are good so i think its just the tire wear which sucks cuz those tires are not bad until you get to the inner wave pattern. needs new tires and aligned probably

[monstermiataman]

@MrCheez1 yeah you will need new tires and alignment but go to a firestone shop they have a lifetime alignment it cost a bit more but you get free alignments after you pay for the first one so its a pretty damn good deal

THE COMEDY VERSION TO DRIVE A CAR!!!!!

[8motion]

I have run flat winter tires on my e90n 328i..the rear wear is in the center although the pressure was good and the front have waves...high low.. I wondering in run flats wear faster..second season and rear are ready to be replaced..

[No11Scalpel]

@8motion I used to have run-flats on my GS450h so to answer your question: Runflats wear faster , handle worst, ride harder & harder to fix tire punchers in them as air leaks between their compound layers easier so don't fill them with Nitrogen ..ah and way more expensive it cost me less to put on Micheline Pilot sport A2 with a Y rating than Dunlap run-flats with V rating

[Restarea11019V]

do run flat tires have the wear bar on them too ?

[300466586]

yes, every tire has the wear bar due to safty reasons. the purpose of run flat tires is only allowing the driver drive the car to the nearest repair shop without being toed in.
