Why do I always have tire problems?
Valve stems that are damaged in any way can cause leaks, leading to low tire pressure and recurring flats. In turn, driving with underinflated or flat tires can cause premature tread wear, poor handling, and decreased fuel efficiency!
Why is my tire pressure low again?
Low pressure could result from a leak or simply from the tendency of a tire to lose about a pound of air pressure every month, as well as a pound for every 10-degree drop in temperature. Once the tires are properly inflated, the light may go off after you’ve driven a few miles.
What are some common tire issues?
Common Tire Wear Problems
- LOW PRESSURE. If you have been driving with under inflation (low pressure) the tires will be more worn on both the shoulders because an under inflated tire tends to lift up in the center of the tread when it is in use.
- EXCESS PRESSURE.
- MISALIGNMENT.
- Camber Wear (or one side wear)
- Feathering.
How much tire pressure loss is normal?
About 1-3 psi per month is normal for air loss, but you still should check inflation rates often, and re-inflate your tires. Neglecting tire inflation for 6 months may take out 6-18 psi, and with the most frequent recommended rate being 30-35 psi, this is a big loss.
Why is my tire not repairable on my car?
If you have any area of the tire worn beyond the tread wear indicators, your tire is not repairable. If your tire is older than the internet, your tire is not repairable. If your tire is unevenly worn and any of the metal parts inside are visible your tire is not repairable. We can keep going.
Why does the TPMS light keep coming on after new tires?
A reset tells the system “these wheel speeds are normal” and any changes from that create a warning. If there is a problem with a sensor, ie the tire monkeys screwed one up, the system will assume a tire is soft the the light will stay on. Check all four tires, set them to 36 psi and reset the system.
How long does it take for a tire to wear out?
The rubber compounds in a tire deteriorate with time, regardless of the condition of the tread. For some people, old tires might never be an issue. If you drive a typical number of miles, somewhere around 12,000-15,000 miles annually, a tire’s tread will wear out in three to four years, long before the rubber compound does.
Why does your tire lose air slowly and how to fix it?
Valve stems deteriorate and leak air due to the exposure to lots of chemicals on the road. Usually, drivers get a new set along with the new tires. However, if a tire loses air slowly yet over 1-3 psi a month, they may need replacement earlier.
