What can uneven tyre wear lead to?

Increased fuel consumption
faults in the braking, suspension and wheel alignment
Better grip on wet roads
No effect

The correct answer is: faults in the braking, suspension and wheel alignment

Uneven tyre wear can lead to several faults in the braking, suspension, and wheel alignment of a vehicle. This is because uneven tyre wear can cause imbalances and inconsistencies in the rotation of tyres, resulting in uneven pressure on different parts of the vehicle. This can ultimately lead to issues with the braking system, as well as problems with the overall suspension and wheel alignment, which can affect the handling and stability of the vehicle. Option A, increased fuel consumption, may occur indirectly as a result of the added strain on the vehicle caused by the faults in the braking, suspension, and wheel alignment. Option C is incorrect because uneven tyre wear can actually decrease grip on wet roads, as the inconsistent tread pattern can lead to less surface area making contact with the road. Option D is incorrect, as uneven tyre wear can have a significant impact on the performance and safety of a vehicle.
