Possible causes
Pressure unsuited to how the car is used
Pressure that is too low or too high can change how the load is spread across the tread. The correct value comes from the car manufacturer's recommendations for the load. The maximum figure on the tyre is not a universal setting for the car.
Incorrect alignment
Wrongly set wheels can speed up wear in certain areas. Both the look of the tyre and measuring the angles matter. Mention any impacts, suspension work or changes in handling before you noticed the wear.
Suspension condition
Worn suspension parts can affect how the tyre meets the road. That is why ordering an adjustment without a check is not enough. First it has to be established whether a part is preventing the wheel from staying correctly positioned.
What to tell the mechanic
- Which tyres are more worn: front, rear, a single one or both on the same axle.
- Where the wear shows: inner edge, outer edge, centre or separate patches.
- When the set was fitted and whether noises, vibration or pulling to one side have appeared.
What you can do
If the tyre's internal structure is visible, there is a bulge or deep damage, do not keep using the tyre normally. Arrange a safe replacement or transport for the car. Even without obvious damage, check heavy and uneven wear before a long journey.
Where the check starts
The mechanic finds the exact cause during the inspection.
Frequently asked questions
Can alignment restore the tread?
No. An adjustment does not restore worn rubber. It can remove one cause of future wear if the suspension is in good condition. Tyres that are already worn should be assessed separately, even if the car now drives straight.
Should I buy new tyres or check the car first?
Unless damage requires an immediate replacement, it helps to find the cause first. Titan offers suspension checks, alignment and tyre fitting. On the phone, tell us the model and tyre size. The address is Petricani 17/3, Chișinău.
