1.4.5 WEAR ON THE WALLS
Cuts
Damage due to knocks
Wear patterns on the walls
The wall is damaged from the outside to the inside, which
may have damaged the tyre body.
Possible cause Remedy
Cuts due to a sharp object. Change the tyre, because the damaged wall may cause
a burst tyre after it has been pumped up.
Initial internal damage to the tyre due to a heavy knock
that has resulted in separation of the tyre, which has
resulted in a lump on the wall.
Possible cause Remedy
A knock against a sharp edge on a stone, kerb or hole in
the road. Change the tyre, because the damaged wall may cause
a burst tyre after it has been pumped up.
The wall contains areas with excessive wear.
Possible cause Remedy
The tyre touches other parts of the vehicle whilst driving. Check the play.
Incorrect type of tyre. Check the tyre sizes.
Wrong type of rim (in particular, ET values). Check the tyre sizes.
The tyre often comes into contact with the kerb or guide
rails. Instruct the driver.
