Checking condition of tyre

WARNING

If damage is determined, always check to see if a new tyre

should be fitted.

Tests at delivery inspection
– Check tyre treads and side walls for damage and remove for‐

eign bodies such as, for example, nails or glass splinters.

Tests at service
– Check tyre treads and side walls for damage and remove for‐

eign bodies such as, for example, nails or glass splinters.

– Check tyres for cupping, one-sided wear, porous side walls,

cuts and punctures.

– Check tyre age. We recommend not to use any tyres older

than 6 years. Inform customer!

4.8.2

Checking wear pattern

The wear pattern on the front tyres will indicate, for example, if

toe and camber settings should be checked:
♦ Feathering on tread indicates incorrect toe setting.
♦ One-sided tread wear is mainly attributed to incorrect camber.
When wear of this nature is detected, determine cause by check‐

ing alignment (repair measure).
