When To Rotate Car Tires ???

Excessive wear on the outer edges

Feathering

Cupping

Excessive wear on the middle of the tread

Second rib is wearing

Bubbles in the sidewall

If the tires are wearing more on both

outer edges than they are in the

middle, it causes the tires to deform.

Excessive wear on the outer edges:

Feathering is usually felt by running

one’s hand over the tread more

frequently than before which causes

incorrect toe-in of the vehicle & excess

toe-in can damage your tire .

Feathering:

Cupping looks like crimp along

the edge of the tire tread. It

indicates damaged suspension and

ultimately it will damage

the tire.

Cupping:

Wearing tires more in the middle of

the tread than they are on the outer

edges causes the tires to overinflated

and ultimately leads to distortion of

the tire.

Excessive wear on the middle of the tread

This can only happen on steel-

belted radial tires. If the second

rib wears means the wrong

size tires are being used.

Second rib is wearing:

It indicates the tire has rubbed up

against any obstruction which is

dangerous causing the

tire to deflate.

Bubbles in the side wall:
