Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

To maximize tire performance, inspect the tires frequently for signs of:
- Uneven wear.
- Incorrect tire pressure.
- Wheel imbalance.
- Cuts.
- Abrasions.
- Bulges (blister).
- Ply separation.
- Embedded objects.
- Impact damage.
- Inspection should be more frequent when:
- Continuous high speed operation is required.
- Rapid or extreme temperatures changes occur.
- Road surfaces are rough.
- Roads are littered with debris.

Tread Wear Indicator

NOTE: Tire condition must comply with prevailing local legislation.

New tires must be installed if the wear indicators are exposed or if there is severe shoulder wear. Shoulder wear is usually caused by either excessive camber or toe on tires.
