2.7. Check of tires (through each 400 kilometers or weekly)
Care of tires comes down to check of depth of a protector, pressure in tires (it is checked on cold tires), to identification of traces of abnormal wear and damages by which it is possible to determine a condition of details of a forward suspension bracket and steering. (photo).
Regularly delete the stones or sharp objects which got stuck in a protector. Periodically remove wheels and clear external and internal surfaces of a disk of dirt. If there are doubts concerning consequences of any found damages, then address for consultation in a shinoremontny workshop. Rearrange wheels with the specified frequency (see below).
Types and causes of wear of a protector of the tire
1. Side wear of a protector
Reasons:
insufficient pressure in the tire (bilateral wear of a protector)
wrong disorder of forward wheels (unilateral wear of a protector).
passing of turns at great speed
long driving without shift of wheels
Way of elimination:
check pressure and restore to normal
repair or replace suspension bracket details
you go with a moderate speed
rearrange wheels
2. Cross angular wear
Reasons:
Wrong convergence of wheels
Way of elimination:
Adjust a convergence
3. Wear of the central part of the tire
Reasons:
elevated pressure in tires long driving without shift of wheels
Way of elimination:
check pressure and restore to normal rearrange wheels
4. Uneven wear
Reasons:
violation of disorder of wheels or corner of a longitudinal inclination of an axis of turn
abnormal work of a forward suspension bracket
violation of balancing of a wheel
ovality of the brake drum
long driving without shift of wheels
Way of elimination:
Repair or replace suspension bracket details
Balance wheels
Pierce or replace a drum
Rearrange wheels
