Does Lowering Your Car Always Cause Uneven Tire Wear?

One of the biggest myths in the car community is that lowering your car automatically destroys your tires.

The truth?

Not necessarily.

A properly lowered vehicle with a quality suspension setup and a performance wheel alignment can achieve excellent tire life.

What actually causes premature tire wear is usually one of these:

• Incorrect toe settings
• Worn suspension components
• Excessive negative camber without a purpose
• Skipping an alignment after installing springs or coilovers

In fact, toe is often a much bigger contributor to tire wear than camber.

That's why two identical cars on the same coilovers can have completely different results. One may get 30,000 miles from a set of tires, while another wears them out in half that distance.

Lowering your car isn't the problem.

An improperly set up suspension is.

Whether you're installing coilovers, lowering springs, or simply replacing worn suspension parts, a proper wheel alignment is what brings everything together.
