Potholes form when rainwater seeps into the road surface and freezes during cold weather. This freeze-thaw cycle causes the ground beneath to expand, pushing up the pavement. As temperatures rise, the ground settles back down, but the pavement remains raised. When vehicles drive over these raised areas, the weight can crack the surface, creating a pothole.
Potholes are more than just an inconvenience—they can damage your tires, leading to uneven wear and reduced tread. With less tread, your tires may lose grip, especially in wet or slippery conditions. To avoid this, try to steer around potholes whenever possible, or position your vehicle so that all four tires avoid the hole as you pass over it.
In addition to tire damage, potholes can also harm your car’s suspension system. Shocks and struts help keep your ride smooth and stable. Hitting a pothole can cause shocks to wear out faster and struts to become dented. If you notice increased bounciness, strange noises, or difficulty braking, it's time to have your suspension checked.
Another serious issue caused by potholes is steering misalignment. This can make your car pull to one side or require constant correction to stay straight. You might also feel vibrations while driving or notice your steering wheel is off-center. Ignoring misalignment can be dangerous, as it affects your control over the vehicle and could lead to an accident.
