What should I do if my front tire is worn on the outside?
The more worn the outer edge of the tire, the bigger the risk of a tire blowout. Also, as the tire wears, it may go below the legal minimum tread depth of 2/32”. You should consider such tires bald and replace them as soon as possible.
Why does my car shudder when I turn a corner?
You’re right to be concerned. When your car is in a turn, the front end components and tires are under more stress than when you are driving straight. So if the car isn’t turning smoothly, something is no longer equal to its task. You need to figure out what’s wrong and have it corrected as soon as possible.
How can I tell if my car has a tire problem?
You need to physically look at each tire. Turning the steering wheel to one side will give you a better view of the tread surface on your front tires. You will need to get on your hands and knees to check your rear tires closely. Vibrations in your car don’t always come from tire problems.
What causes a tire to bend on the outside?
Old and brand new struts. As to spindles, excessive pressure on the wheel hub can cause a vibration, which may result in a bent one. As it bends, it may change the alignment of the wheel, and if you don’t notice it in time, the tire may develop uneven wear.
