What is a potential effect of unbalanced tires?

Better fuel efficiency
Increased handling ability
Faster tire wear
Improved acceleration

The correct answer is: Faster tire wear

Unbalanced tires can lead to faster tire wear because they do not make consistent contact with the road surface. When tires are not properly balanced, they can cause uneven distribution of weight, resulting in vibrations that affect the tire’s tread wear over time. As sections of the tire make less contact with the ground, those areas may wear down more quickly than others, leading to a decreased lifespan for the tires. This accelerated wear means that drivers will likely need to replace their tires sooner than they would if the tires were balanced properly. Maintaining balanced tires is crucial for ensuring even tread wear, maximizing tire life, and promoting overall driving stability and safety.
