4.6.1 Checking condition of tyre
WARNING
If damage is determined, always check to see if a new tyre
should be fitted.
Tests at delivery inspection:
– Check tyre side walls and treads for damage and foreign bod‐
ies such as, for example, nails or glass splinters.
Tests at service:
– Check tyre side walls and treads for damage and foreign bod‐
ies such as, for example, nails or glass splinters.
– Check tyres for cupping, one-sided wear, porous side walls,
cuts and punctures.
4.6.2 Checking wear pattern
The wear pattern on the front tyres will indicate, for example, if
toe and camber settings should be checked:
♦ Feathering on tread indicates incorrect toe setting.
♦ One-sided tread wear is mainly attributed to incorrect camber.
When wear of this nature is detected, determine cause by check‐
ing alignment (repair measure).
