Tire defects
Wear | Cause |
Strong wear on both sides of the working surface | Insufficient pressure |
Strong wear in the middle of the working surface around the entire circumference | Very high pressure |
Uneven side tread wear | Static and dynamic wheel imbalance. Large rim runout, large play |
Uneven wear in the middle of the tread pattern | Static wheel imbalance. Consequences of a strong vertical impact |
Strong wear in some places in the middle of the working surface Signs of blocking during full braking | May not have a round brake drum that contributes to wheel locking |
Flaky or sawtooth profile wear Mostly caused by rubber degradation, which becomes visible from the outside after a while | Vehicle overload. Check for broken rubber on the inside of the tire |
Rubber tabs on tread edges | Wrong wheel setting. The wheel wears out on one side. Also check the shock absorbers on the rear suspension |
Edge formation on the rear side of the profile of the front wheel | Incorrect wheel alignment. The wheel wears out on one side. Frequent driving on a road with a convex profile. Fast moving but cornering |
Breaks in the base of the tire. At first we see only from the inside | Moving over high curbs, rails, etc. at high speed |
Unilateral wear profile | Check camber setting |
