Alright, the weather is beginning to straighten out, and it's time to roll the windows down and go for a ride. As you know, we don't really get into the whole "trailer queen" thing--these old cars are meant to be driven! With that in mind, you should always keep an eye on your tread wear characteristics, to make sure you get the most out of your tires. Tread wear depends greatly on your suspension alignment, and if that's off, you'll chew through a set of tires in no time. Of course, our business is selling tires, so we don't mind if you buy a new set of tires every few thousand miles, but it's important to get this stuff sorted out, so you get a little more enjoyment out of your collector car. Vehicles with solid axles, front and rear, are a little tougher to align properly, while vehicles with independent suspension have a lot more wiggle room when it comes to adjusting camber, caster and toe. Suspension alignment makes sure the vehicle tracks straight as it goes down the road, and it prevents uneven tire wear. Too much negative camber means the inside edge of the tire will wear prematurely, while too much positive camber means the outer edge of the tire will get worn down. Other factors that cause uneven tire wear is an unbalanced tire and wheel, or a tire that is not properly inflated. Too much air wears out the center of the tread, while lower pressures wear out the inner and outer edges. All of this tread wear information applies to old cars, as well as your modern daily driver, so pay attention to your tire wear and make sure you're getting the most out of your tires!
