Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION^ To maximize tire performance, inspect the tires for signs of improper inflation and uneven wear which may indicate a need for balancing, rotation or front suspension alignment.
^ Tires should also be checked frequently for cuts, stone bruises, abrasions, blisters and for objects that may have become embedded in the tread.
^ More frequent inspections are recommended when rapid or extreme temperature changes occur or where road surfaces are rough or occasionally littered with debris.
^ As a further visible check of tire condition, tread wear indicators are moulded into the bottom of the tread grooves. The tire should be replaced when these indicator bands become visible. Tire Wear
