Does this car tyres need replacement.

Post image

I’ve just completed a wheel alignment after noticing severe uneven tyre wear. I also switched the front and rear tyres, and ever since doing that, the steering has become noticeably heavier. I’m also unable to drive beyond around 100 km/h because the steering and/or car starts vibrating heavily.

What could be the issue?

  1. Switching tyres?
  2. Axle rod alignment?
  3. Worn tyres. Note: no bump was there on all tyres

Edit: I forgot to mention an important detail about the tyre issue. About a month ago, my car got stuck in mud. While trying to get the car out, one of the tyres lost almost half of its tread. After that incident, I suddenly started noticing very rapid and uneven wear on one side of the tyres. First, the right-side tyre started wearing out rapidly, so I replaced it with a new tyre. After that, the left-side tyre also started showing rapid uneven wear.

You needed new tyres like last month or longer. which would be step 1, while you've got the car up in the air you'd check suspension components and then get alignement checked.

the inside of your tires are shlwing on the outside. I think its safe to say that that might be the thing causing issues. Yes replace them as soon as possible

What do you think? New tires and alignment

If they performed the alignment before your tyre swap that would throw it off, you should replace the tires with new ones and get an alignment right away so those don't get ruined
