Road Test

Road Test
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test on a smooth road. If any vibrations are apparent, refer to Noise, Vibration and Harshness Diagnosis.

To maximize tire performance, inspect for signs of incorrect inflation and uneven wear, which may indicate a need for balancing, rotation, or front suspension alignment.

Correct tire pressure and driving techniques have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increases tire wear.
