Tires and tire pressure check

Tires are the only parts of the car that are constantly in contact with the road, and even the total contact surface of all tires is small. It is therefore necessary to regularly carry out a thorough tire check, since both your own safety and the safety of other road users depends to a large extent on the condition of the tires.

Constantly checking the condition of the tires will allow you to detect intensive wear in a timely manner and eliminate its cause, which will help to avoid more serious consequences.

In the presence of uneven tire wear, it is necessary to find the cause of this and eliminate it.

Check the tires for cuts, punctures and foreign objects in the tires. Tire leaks can be identified with soap suds.

Carefully inspect the inside side of each tire for traces of brake fluid.

Required tire pressure extends tire life and should be checked regularly. Check tire pressure only when tires are cold.

Checking the wear level of tire treads

Wheel tires must be replaced immediately if the special indicators located at the bottom of the tread (IN) as a result of wear, they will become equal to the surface of the tire tread. The position of the pointers is indicated by a triangular mark on the tire bead (A).

Tire tread depth measurement

Tire tread depth can be controlled with a special tool. When the wear limit is reached, the tires must be replaced.

Tire pressure check

Tire pressure is checked only on cold tires. Optimum tire pressure increases tire life and vehicle performance.

Types of tread wear

Lateral tread wear



Low tire pressure (wear on both sides). Low tire pressure results in permanent tire deformation and improper tire contact with the road surface. In this case, the tire cord wears out and the grip of the tire with the road surface decreases. Also, due to overheating of the tire, it may burst.


Wrong camber angle (wear on one side). Suspension needs to be repaired.

Overcoming turns at high speed. You need to slow down when cornering.

Tread wear in the center



High tire pressure. When the tire pressure is much higher than normal, intensive wear of the tread in the center of the tire occurs, the grip of the tire with the road surface decreases, the tire does not dampen road irregularities, as a result of which all shocks are transmitted to the body and the likelihood of a tire rupture increases.

Check and top up tire pressure.

In some cases, it is necessary to increase the tire pressure, in particular when driving at high speeds or with a heavy load, while remembering to bring the pressure up to the norm during normal use of the car.

Uneven wear



Tires on the front wheels may wear unevenly due to wheel misalignment. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the angles of the wheels.

Lateral tread wear. Balance the wheels.
