Tyres and pressure check in tires



Tires are the only car parts that are constantly in contact with the road, and even the total contact surface of the tire is small. It is therefore necessary to regularly check the tires carefully, as both own safety and that of other participants in traffic to a large extent depends on the condition of the tires.

Real-time condition of tires will allow early detection of intensive wear and eliminate its cause, in order to avoid more serious consequences.

In the presence of uneven tire wear is necessary to discover the cause of this and rectify it.

Check the tires for cuts, punctures, and foreign objects in the tires. Designated air leakage from the tire can be determined with the help of soap suds.

Inspect the inner side of each tire for signs of brake fluid.

Desired tire pressure prolongs its service life and therefore must be checked regularly. Tyre pressure monitoring are made only on cold tires.

Checking the wear of tire treads

Tires wheels must be immediately replaced when located below the bottom of the tread special pointers (B) as a result of wear equal the tread surface of the tire.

The position is indicated by a triangular indicator mark on the sidewall of the tire (A).

Measure the tire tread depth

Tire tread depth can be controlled by a special device, and when the limit tire wear must be replaced.

Checking tire pressure


Checking tire pressure is only on cold tires. Optimal tire pressure increases tire life and vehicle operating parameters.
