If the weather folks are right, it's been an icky morning - wet, snowy and cold. In short, it's a miserable day to be outside or to have to drive anywhere. Speaking of driving, the roads will be extra hazardous, so you need to be especially careful and particularly aware of the condition of your car. Especially your tires.
It's a good time to take a look at your tires to check the wear before you get out on icy, slick roads. If you do find your tires are worn, that can give you a clue about other issues with your car and it might mean you need car or tire repair or even new tires.
We'e talking about the wear pattern and what it might tell you, according to tirereview.com:
“First, overinflation. How do you spot it? Usually, there are clues in the center of the tread pattern. Too much air pressure can cause the contact patch to shrink and the center of the tire to carry all of the load. On the tire, its sipes and grooves will be worn in the center.
“What about underinflation? Tire wear on the edges of a tire will typically indicate that inflation pressures are lower than specified. When a tire is underinflated, the contact patch grows and the load is carried by the outside edges of the patch. In this case, the center is less worn.
“Another common tread wear pattern is inner edge wear. In fact, this is probably the most common problem technicians see. The angles causing this type of wear are typically negative toe and camber. On the parts side, three component sources could cause this type of wear: bushings, springs and loads.
“Although it’s rare, another type of irregular tread wear is outer edge wear. Positive camber, caster and toe can lead to wear on the outer edge. If you see edge wear on one side, check the thrust and setback.”
If that’s too much to remember or you don’t feel as if you’ll know what you’re looking at, consult the tire specialists at the Meineke Car Care Center on East Chocolate in Hershey. If that's not convenient, try one of our 12 other car care service centers in south central Pennsylvania:
