Question

Why do the front tire rims on a car accumulate more dirt than the back rims, even with disc brakes on all wheels?

Answer 1

because of the weight distribution of most cars, the front brakes are designed to provide most of the stopping power. Usually this brake workload distribution is 60/40 with the rear brakes only providing 40% of the resistance.

Answer 2

the front ones are exposed to more dirt.

Answer 3

Most cars still have drum brakes in the rear. For those with discs all around.............I think maybe it's because the front brakes do most of the work when stopping, throwing more brake dust on the wheels in front.

Answer 4

the reason is the amount of brake dust that accumulates on the rims and tires.the front brakes work twice as hard as the back brakes on any vehicle.what are the first brakes that have to be replaced even on a new car?you guest it the front.so they have more accumulated debris than the rear wheels do.
