Tread wear patterns


Shoulder wear


Insufficient pressure wears out on both sides)

Underinflation causes tire wear because the cord will bend too much and the tread will not sit properly on the road surface. This will cause loss of traction and excessive wear, not to mention the risk of sudden tire failure due to increased temperatures. Check and adjust the pressure.

Incorrect wheel alignment (wears out on one side)
Repair or replace suspension parts.

Difficult movement on the turn
Slow down!

Slow down!


Central wear


Pumping

Overinflation causes rapid wear of the central part of the tyre tread, as well as reduced traction and increased risk of tyre failure.

Check and adjust pressure. If you occasionally need to inflate your vehicle's tires to a higher pressure than specified for the maximum permissible load or sustained high speed, be sure to reduce the pressure to the normal value afterwards.

Incorrect camber or kingpin caster
Repair or replace suspension parts.

Faulty suspension
Repair or replace suspension parts.

The wheels are unbalanced
Balance the tires.
