Consumes shoulders. What are the reasons?

According to statistics, about 30% of all tires are discarded prematurely. The reason for this is irreparable damage and uneven wear of the tread, which makes further use of the tires impossible.

Recall:

A tire is considered worn out when it reaches just one of the tread wear indicators. Even if, on one side, you still have a powerful tread, this does not give you the right to operate the tire.

To avoid this, it is necessary to carefully inspect the tires and take preventive measures at the first signs of uneven wear.

Uneven wear of the shoulder areas is almost always caused by two reasons: incorrect wheel geometry settings, so-called camber-toe, or unrecommended pressure. If the camber-toe is perfectly clear, it needs to be done regularly for preventive purposes, but with pressure, we periodically encounter misunderstanding in the eyes of clients. Many pursue the goal of making the ride a little more comfortable and for this, they specially lower the pressure in the tires.

Of course, this should not be done.

First and foremost, because insufficient internal pressure guarantees faster wear of the shoulder areas of the tire. In addition, fuel consumption will increase significantly, and the likelihood of sidewall damage will increase.
