Tires can get warped or damaged and here's top 5 reasons
Towards the end of 2022, my personal car got two worn tires in the front. I also noticed a vibration on my steering column when I drove between speeds of 20-50 mph. I thought the tires needed to be balanced. Took the tires out and realized that treads were getting rather low, not only that, there was a bump forming on my tire. It made me realize that I could have hit a pothole at some point damaging my tire.
Tires are an integral part of any vehicle, taking the brunt of the wear and tear as you drive them through the streets. Here are 5 main reasons why vehicle tires get worn or damaged.

1. Check the air pressure in your tires
Having the wrong tire pressure in your tires can cause excessive wear and damage. Overinflated or underinflated tires can lead to uneven tread wear and bubbling of the sidewalls. Check your manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure levels and make sure they correspond with what is stated on your door jamb sticker.
2. Poor alignment
An incorrectly aligned vehicle will cause your tires to wear unevenly and quickly. Making sure that your vehicle is properly aligned will help ensure even tire wear over time. Also, it is important to check for any misalignments after hitting a pothole or going over a large bump so that proper alignment is maintained at all times.
3. Unbalanced tires
Uneven wheel weight distribution can cause imbalances that can cause vehicles to wear more quickly than normal. It’s important to have your wheels balanced by a professional periodically in order to prevent premature tire wearing out or bubbling from occurring too soon.
4. Driving Habits
Aggressive driving, such as taking corners too fast or braking abruptly, can put extra stress on your tires and cause them to wear down faster than usual.
5. Bad roads
Poor quality roads with lots of potholes or debris can take a toll on your car’s tires and lead to premature wearing out or bubbling. It is always wise to be careful when driving over these kinds of stretches as they could potentially damage your car’s suspension as well as its tires if not navigated with caution!
