Partners in Business tip: Driving habits and tire life

Jul 2, 2020

Updated Feb 16, 2022

Hard braking, rapid acceleration, curbing and tight turns cause tires to wear faster. Many of the problems caused by bad driving habits show up as uneven tire wear. If you notice shimmying or repetitive bumping, inspect your tires. Even absent those symptoms, look for irregular tread wear in your daily inspections.
