Can worn shocks or struts cause new tires to wear unevenly?
Yes. Shocks and struts provide a damping force to control tire movement. When the tires move excessively, they develop a ‘cupping’ wear pattern that damages the tire and causes it to wear out faster. Other factors, such as incorrect air pressure, worn suspension components, or improperly aligned steering, can also cause uneven tire wear.
