Correct answer
- ALas ruedas estén desequilibradas.The wheels are unbalanced.
Explanation
Unbalanced wheels can cause uneven tyre wear. This happens because the vehicle's weight is not spread evenly, so some parts of the tread wear faster than others. This kind of early wear is a clear sign that the wheels need balancing to get even wear and safer driving.
