Tire Service Life, Influences

The following factors influence the service life of a tire in varying degrees.

Driving Style: 

• Speed
• Braking
• Acceleration
• Cornering

Service: 

• Tire Pressure

Area: 

• Paving
• Exterior temperature/climate

Vehicle: 

• Weight
• Dynamic toe and camber values

Tire Operating Conditions 

• Speed range
• Wet or dry

Tire Construction: 

Winter/summer 

Changes To The Suspension: 

If a "lowering-kit" and /or light alloy wheels from accessories which have not been approved by the vehicle manufacturer are used, wheel alignments which deviate from the alignment specified in design may occur during travel.

Even if the adjustment of the axle geometry measured on a standing vehicle is correct, changes in the body height and positions of the wheels during travel can lead to changes to the paths of travel of the suspension.

For this reason, uneven wear is pre-programmed.
