Why do my Land Rover Defender tyres wear unevenly o r prematurely in Pakistan?

Defender owners often notice that their tyres wear faster on one side, develop cupping, o r have uneven tread depth. Common causes may include misalignment, incorrect tyre pressure, worn suspension components, o r driving frequently on rough Pakistani roads with potholes and speed breakers. How can I identify whether the uneven wear is due to alignment issues, tyre quality, o r driving habits?

Uneven o r premature tyre wear is a common issue in Defenders due to rough roads, misalignment, o r suspension wear.

Common Causes

Wheel misalignment

Causes one-side wear o r feathering of tread.

Potholes and speed breakers in Pakistan worsen misalignment.

Incorrect tyre pressure

Overinflated tyres wear in the center underinflated tyres wear on edges.

Worn suspension components

Bushings, ball joints, o r shocks can create uneven contact with the road.

Poor road conditions

Hitting potholes, rough roads, o r off-road driving increases cupping and sidewall wear.

Tyre quality o r age

Old o r low-quality tyres wear faster, especially in hot Pakistani summers.

Practical Tips

Check wheel alignment every 10,000 km o r after hitting potholes.

Maintain recommended tyre pressure.

Inspect suspension and replace worn bushings, ball joints, o r shocks.

Rotate tyres every 8,000–10,000 km to balance wear.
