Tyre Wear
Tyre wear refers to the gradual erosion of tread rubber through use. Wear patterns can indicate alignment problems, incorrect pressure, or suspension issues. Even wear across the tread suggests correct setup, while uneven wear patterns — such as inner edge, outer edge, or centre wear — indicate specific problems. Monitoring wear patterns helps tyre businesses advise customers on necessary repairs and appropriate replacement timing.
