hugging curbs while driving help my tires and gas?
So I figure that if i hug the curb on tight turns, or really any turns while driving my car i feel like it will preserve my tires and i also save gas (not having to break while making a slow, wide turn). Am i right in thinking this way? THanks

Comments on hugging curbs while driving help my tires and gas?
If you’re hugging the inside curb as you go around a turn, you’re making the turn sharper. That generates more side load on the tire, and increases tire wear.
Can’t help you on whether it saves gas–it depends too much on exactly how you’re driving.
no it won’t, it won’t make any differance. infact it could make it worse because of the sharper turns you will be making.
