What is the consequence of improper tire balancing?

Improper tire balancing can lead to uneven tire wear, which is one of the primary consequences. When tires are not balanced correctly, it causes them to wear down at different rates, resulting in specific areas of the tire being more worn than others. This uneven wear can lead to a shorter lifespan for the tires and may necessitate premature replacement. Additionally, it can affect vehicle handling and safety, as well as lead to other issues if not addressed.

In contrast, enhanced tire life, increased fuel economy, and better ride comfort are all benefits typically associated with proper tire balancing rather than a consequence of improper balancing. Properly balanced tires contribute to even wear, ensuring longer durability, improving fuel efficiency by allowing the vehicle to operate more smoothly, and enhancing comfort by reducing vibrations during driving.
