If brakes on one side of the vehicle are weaker or stick, it causes uneven braking force distribution. This leads to uneven tire wear, as some tires bear more stress or drag.

A stuck caliper or worn brake components can cause a tire to drag or partially lock, creating excessive heat and premature tire wear in that area.

Faulty brakes may cause wheel lockup (especially without ABS), resulting in skidding or flat spots on tires. Skidding damages tire tread and compromises grip.

If brakes don’t engage properly, drivers may brake harder or more abruptly, causing increased stress on tires and accelerating wear.
