What role does tire pressure play in uneven tread wear in Honda City?

Incorrect tire pressure—whether too high o r too low—can cause premature tire wear. How does overinflation lead to center tread wear while underinflation causes outer edge wear? What is the recommended tire pressure for different driving conditions in Pakistan?

Tire pressure plays a crucial role in ensuring even tire wear. Underinflated tires cause the tire to bulge at the edges, leading to outer edge wear. On the other hand, overinflated tires cause the center of the tire to wear faster due to increased pressure in the middle of the tread, leading to center tread wear. The recommended tire pressure for the Honda City typically ranges from 30 to 32 psi, but this can vary depending on driving conditions and load. In Pakistan, where weather conditions fluctuate from extreme heat to cold, it’s important to regularly check tire pressure, particularly before long trips, as both underinflation and overinflation can cause excessive wear.
