In Spain, renewed attention has been drawn to the importance of regular vehicle maintenance, particularly regarding tire condition. An official video posted on TikTok España features auto service professionals clearly demonstrating the dangers of ignoring tire wear.
In the video, a workshop employee shows a wheel with uneven tread wear. As the wheel spins, it’s clear that some areas are more worn than others. The expert notes that this can happen for several reasons: low tire pressure, incorrect wheel alignment, or hitting curbs. In this case, it was later revealed that the cause was faulty shock absorbers.
After removing the shock absorbers, the specialists found oil leaks. When compressed, the parts did not return to their original position, indicating internal damage due to worn seals or valves. Both shock absorbers needed replacement, as their condition negatively affected the suspension system and, consequently, led to uneven tire wear.
Experts emphasize that tires play a crucial role in vehicle safety. Their condition directly affects handling, braking distance, and overall stability. Worn tires increase the risk of punctures, blowouts, and loss of control, especially at high speeds or during sudden maneuvers.
In addition, poor tire condition can lead to accelerated wear of other car components, such as suspension and steering elements. Increased vibrations and loads caused by tire deformation have a negative impact on the lifespan of these parts.
Motorists in Spain are advised to regularly check tire pressure, monitor even tire wear, and not delay a visit to the service center at the first signs of malfunction. Timely maintenance helps prevent serious consequences and ensures the safety of all road users.
