Tire Fault Diagnosis
| Wear | Cause |
| Heavier tire wear on both sides of the tread tread | Too low air pressure in inflated tires |
| Heavier tire wear in the middle of the tread all around | Too high air pressure in inflated tires |
| Uneven wear on the side of the tire tread pattern | Static and dynamic wheel imbalance. Possible too much lateral runout of the rim, too much clearance in the hinges of independent suspensions |
| Uneven wear in the middle of the tire tread pattern | Static imbalance of the wheel, which may be due to a large runout in height |
| Strong wear in some places in the middle of the tread tread | Brake marks left on the road by blocked wheels when the vehicle is brought to a complete stop |
| Flaking or sawtooth wear of the tire tread pattern. In bright cases, this is due to a tear in the tissue, which becomes visible from the outside after a while | Vehicle overload. Check the inside of the tires for fabric tears! |
| Rubber tabs on the side edges of the tire tread pattern. | Incorrect wheel alignment. Tires have significant wear (mostly unilateral). At the rear wheels, also check the condition of the shock absorbers! |
| Burr formation on the side of the front wheel tread pattern | Incorrect installation of steered wheels. |
| Tires have significant wear (mostly unilateral). | Frequent driving on highly convex road surfaces. Fast cornering |
| Impact ruptures in the tire carcass. Initially visible only inside the tire | Driving over pointed rocks, hitting rails, or the like at high speed |
| Unilateral tread wear | Check camber setting |
