Things You Should Know About Feathering of Tire
2
Unusual and abnormal wear on the treading of
your tires is not a good thing as it suggests
that your wheels are not making proper contact
with the road.
3
Moreover, it is also a sign that your tires will
have a shorter lifespan and are more likely to
blow out.
4
Whenever you notice any abnormal wear on the
treading of your tires, you should immediately
seek the assistance of a technician to inspect it.
5
Feathering occurs when the tire is subject to
angled wear and tear and one side of the tread
will be sharp the other side will be rounded.
6
Working mechanism
7
The tires are designed to be at a certain angle
with respect to the road and both the vertical
the horizontal angles are necessary for optimal
wear and tear.
8
When one of these angles becomes out of line the
car will not drive smoothly and the tires will
not make even, consistent contact with the road
which leads to abnormal wear and tears.
9
Common reasons for the issue
10
There are two main reasons for feathering of your
car tires. They are-
11
Poorly aligned wheels
12
If the wheels of your car are not properly
aligned, then the tires will wear abnormally
because a proper alignment sets the wheels on
both a vertical horizontal axis.
13
When the front of the wheels is pointing too far
in, feathering on the tread of the tires will
occur quickly.
14
Misalignment can be due to natural circumstances,
or a result of the accumulation of miles, or
might be related to a faulty tire rotation.
15
Faulty suspension
16
Feathering on the tires is always the cause of a
misaligned wheel. However, this misalignment is
often due to a larger problem with the suspension.
17
The suspension connects the body of the car to
the wheels and is responsible for the smooth
running of the vehicle.
18
The components of the suspension system helps
absorb the impact of the road so that the vehicle
does not have too much stress on the wheels.
19
However, if the components of the suspension
system malfunction, then it will cause tremendous
stress on the wheels which will lead to
misalignment.
20
Conclusion
21
Whenever you notice feathering of your tires, you
must immediately contact a technician to identify
the cause of feathering.
22
Moreover, misaligned tires will greatly reduce
the control you have over your car which is
dangerous. You should never ignore a feathered
tire in your car.
