What might be the cause of uneven wear on tractor tires?

Uneven wear on tractor tires can primarily be attributed to incorrect tire pressure. Maintaining the proper tire pressure is crucial for ensuring even contact with the ground; if the pressure is too low or too high, it can result in uneven wear patterns across the tire surface. For example, under-inflated tires tend to wear more on the outer edges, while over-inflated tires may wear more in the center. Proper tire pressure not only optimizes performance and safety but also extends the life of the tires.

While excessive tire rotation, the use of different tire brands, and regular cleaning of tires could have some impact on tire performance and condition, they are not the primary contributors to uneven wear as incorrect tire pressure is. Regular tire rotation is actually a practice that helps promote even wear across all tires, thereby enhancing their lifespan. Similarly, while different tire brands may have varying characteristics and tread patterns, they wouldn't directly cause uneven wear unless there is a significant difference in tire maintenance or mounting. Regular cleaning helps maintain tire quality but does not influence wear patterns significantly.
