Inspecting Tires
NOTE:
Tires must be checked by trained personnel.
Because tire damage can have serious consequences, the technician and the driver should regularly check the tires, as it is the best form of early problem recognition.
Pre-damaged tires cannot withstand driving situations like high vehicle speed, long driving distance, sporty driving style and similar situations.
Damage can occur from various causes:
- Driving with low tire pressure
- Mistakes during tire mounting
- Damage impact damage
- Aging
- Incorrect storage
NOTE:
As soon as a safety risk cannot be ruled out, the tire must be replaced.
Pay special attention to the following criteria when examining the tire:
- Surface erosion or marbling on the inner side (pressure was too low or insufficient for the load)
- Detached rubber or loose cords
- Exposed or deformed bead bundle
- Damage to tire bead with visible cords
