Tyre wear
Check best done by car, raised on a lift. 1. Turn each wheel of the car on one turn. 2. Use a screwdriver with a thin blade, remove from the tire tread foreign bodies and small stones, being careful not to damage the tire. 3. Check the tire tread depth, which is across the entire width shall be not less than 1.6 mm. 4. Tread wear indicators are arranged at regular intervals on a circle and pass through the entire cross section of the tire. Their location can be seen on the side of the tire and are marked with ?�TWI?� (Tread Wear lndicator - tire tread wear indicator). 5. If these indicators are located on the same level with the tread means that the tire is worn and should be replaced. 6. Be sure to check tire wear in the transverse direction. Uneven wear indicates a state of suspension of the car or the tire pressure does not correspond to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Wear the outside of the tires of the front wheels - Points to overcome the curved sections of the road at high speeds. In this case, in order to avoid further deterioration of the tire flip tires on the drive or reverse the front and rear wheels. One-sided wear the cross section of the tire - Indicates an improper adjustment wheel: first of all, when a tire has such wear. Increased wear in the middle of the cross-sectional - We occur when the vehicle is moving at a high speed at which the central portion of the tread is curved outwards by centrifugal force. This effect is especially pronounced on the rear wheels. Wear may be caused by high pressure in the tire. Wear of the outer edges of the tire is greater than the central cross section - It indicates that the vehicle moved a long time too low tire pressure. Uniform wear of the local cross-sectional - It indicates a problem with the shock absorber. Uneven wear - Only in certain places there in violation of the balancing wheel or damage the tire carcass. Severe wear a separate zone in the cross section - It comes from the braking wheel lock.
