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.
^ Begin by performing a road test.
