Explanation
Several factors can make your vehicle's tyres wear faster than normal. They include the temperature of the air or the road surface: the higher it is, the more the tread wears. Overloading the vehicle above the tyre's maximum load index, driving at high speed or driving on a road surface in poor condition will also make wear greater than usual.
