When the tires are underinflated...
Mechanics (different vehicle systems)
When the tires have low air pressure, they wear more on the sides because the tire structure deforms and the side surfaces come into greater contact with the ground.
Explanation
When the wheels of a vehicle have **less inflation pressure** than recommended, uneven tire wear occurs. In this case, the wear is **greater on the sides** of the tire. This happens because the lack of air causes the tire to deform, increasing the contact of the edges with the ground. Additionally, this condition can cause the tire to heat up more, wear out faster, and increase fuel consumption. Therefore, it is important to maintain the proper pressure to avoid these problems and ensure even wear.
