rubbed at selective points which causes a tire imbalance. |
| The consequences of a wear spot is strong vibrations in the
vehicle, which can lead to a worsening of the driving behavior

running surface at this location even with a slightly reduced
braking effect leading to an increase in the vibrations. |
