Tires on balanced wheels wear approximately evenly over the entire tread tread when the prescribed inflation pressure is adhered to in good faith and when the wheel alignment is correct and the shock absorbers function properly. For uneven tire wear, refer to the technical troubleshooting in the appropriate chapter. It is impossible to draw a definite conclusion about the durability of tire products, since their service life depends on various factors:
- road surface;
- air pressure in inflated tires;
- driving mode;
- weather (meteorological conditions).
First of all, during sporty driving, hard acceleration and heavy braking, the tires are subject to rapid wear.
Attention! The traffic police authorities require that tires wear out only to a depth of tread grooves of 1.6 mm, namely, the grooves of the tread pattern must have a depth of at least 1.6 mm on the entire tread of the tread. However, for safety reasons, we recommend that you change tires already with a tread depth of at least 2 mm.
If the tread height approaches the expected allowable groove depth of the tread pattern, i.e. if the wear indicator located at any point on the circumference of the tire no longer fixes the tread pattern, then the tires must be replaced.
Attention! M+S - passenger car tires for driving on muddy and snowy roads with a special tread pattern have a sufficient effect on mud and snow only if their tread pattern still has a depth of at least 4 mm.
Attention! Examine the tire for cuts and use a small screwdriver to set the depth of the cuts. If the cuts reach the carcass of the tire, the steel cord of the radial tire is corroded by the penetrating water. Due to this, under certain conditions, the tread tread is detached from the carcass and the tire is torn. Therefore, for safety reasons, replace the tire with deep cuts in the tread pattern.
