Tests during inspection service
- Check tires (tread and side walls) for damage and
remove foreign material for example nails and glass
splinters if necessary.
- Check tires for scuffing, one sided wear, porous side
walls, cuts and fractures.
Checking tire wear pattern
The wear pattern of the front wheels can be used to assess
whether a check of the track and camber is necessary:
Feathered edges of the treads may indicate faulty
toe adjustment.
One-sided tread wear is mainly attributed to
incorrect camber.
When wear of this nature is noticed determine cause by
performing alignment checks (repair measure).
Depth of tire tread (including spare wheel), check
- Check tire tread depth
Minimum depth: 1.6 mm
Note:
This value may vary for individual countries due to
different legislative regulations.
The minimum tread depth is reached when the tires
have worn down level with the 1.6 mm high tread
wear indicators - arrows - positioned at intervals
around the tire.
