Checking Tire Condition
Time
10 minutes
Difficulty
Wear on one side is caused by suspension misalignment
Tire shoulder wear is caused by underinflation, incorrect wheel camber (worn suspension parts), or hard cornering
Tire center wear is caused by overinflation
The original tires have tread wear safety bands (B), which will appear when the tread depth reaches approximately 1.6 mm. The band positions are indicated by a triangular mark on the tire sidewall (A)
Tread wear can be monitored with an inexpensive device known as a tread depth indicator gauge
