Types of tread wear



Side tread wear


Low tire pressure (wear on both sides)

Low tire pressure results in a permanent deformation of the tire and Nome incorrect tire contact with the road surface. This much wear and reduced tire cord grip tires and the road surface. Also, due to overheating of the tire can happen her break.

Incorrect camber (wear on one side)

It is necessary to repair the suspension.

Overcoming turns at high speed

It is necessary to reduce speed on bends.

Tread wear at the center


High pressure in the tire

If tire pressure is significantly higher than the norm, there is an intensive tire wear in the center of the tire, reduced tire grip the road surface, the tire does not extinguish bumps in the road as a result all the blows transmitted to the body and increases the likelihood of tire burst.

Check and top up the tire pressure

In some cases it is necessary to increase the pressure in the tire, particularly while driving at high speeds or heavy loads, while not forget to bring to normal pressure in normal operation of the vehicle.

Uneven wear


The tires on the front wheels can wear unevenly due to a misalignment of the wheels. It is necessary to adjust the angles of the wheels.

Unbalanced wheels

Balance the wheel.
