External Conditions that Affect Brake Performance. Chevrolet Metro 1998

For 1990-2009 cars

### Tires

Tires that have unequal contact and grip on the road will cause unequal braking.

Tires must meet the following conditions:

• | Equal inflation

• | Identical size

• | Equal tread patterns for both the right and the left sides

### Vehicle Loading

A heavily loaded vehicle requires more braking effort. When a vehicle has unequal loading, the most heavily loaded wheels require more braking power than others.

### Wheel Alignment

Misalignment of the wheels can cause the brakes to pull to one side. Refer to Tires and Wheels for more information.
