Tires, like most automotive parts, need regular maintenance in order to properly function. But even the best maintained Terra Grappler G2 tires will eventually need to be replaced. Worn tires are a danger to you and those you share the road with as they offer little traction and are more prone to blowout. It is entirely possible that one tire can wear much faster than the rest, and this happens for any number of reasons. For example, a misalignment could cause your tires to prematurely wear. Worn suspension and steering parts can also cause faster tire wear as can under-inflation, driving conditions and the style in which you drive your car also has a bearing on wear rates. If you suffer from fast wearing tires, it is best if you discover the reason before doling out big bucks on a new set.
Your driving style has a lot to do with tire wear, as does the conditions in which you drive. If you are an aggressive driver, or free-spirited if you desire, with a lot of heavy acceleration and braking, then you will likely see more tire wear than the average driver. As far as conditions are concerned, driving in hot, dry weather will wear down that rubber quicker, as will new concrete or asphalt on the roads you drive.
If you are a careful driver who drives in ideal conditions, then perhaps tire inflation is causing your premature wear problem. Contrary to popular belief, over inflated tires will not help you travel faster, they only leave you prone to blowouts. And under-inflated tires wear out much more quickly. Always follow recommended pressure for your your tires.
So, before buying your new set of Terra Grapplers, first discover why your old tires wore out so quickly.
