Unbalanced tires or low tire pressures can cause what?

  1. Decreased fuel consumption

  2. Improved steering control

  3. Uneven tire wear

  4. Faster tire wear

The correct answer is: Faster tire wear

Unbalanced tires or low tire pressures can result in faster tire wear. When a tire is unbalanced or underinflated, it can cause uneven pressure distribution on the tire tread, leading to premature wear. This can occur more quickly than if the tires were properly balanced and inflated. Proper tire maintenance is essential to ensure even wear and extend the lifespan of your tires. Choices A and B are incorrect because unbalanced tires or low tire pressures do not contribute to decreased fuel consumption or improved steering control. Choice C is also incorrect because the main concern with unbalanced tires or low tire pressures is the acceleration of tire wear, not specifically uneven tire wear.
