Checking tire (every 400 kilometers or weekly)
Maintaining the tires boils down to check tread depth, tire pressure (checked on cold tires), revealing traces of abnormal wear or damage, which can determine the condition of the parts front suspension and steering. (Photo).

Regularly remove stones stuck in the tread or sharp objects. Periodically remove the wheels and clean the outer and inner surface of the disk from dirt. If in doubt about the consequences of any damage found, then consult the tire center. Swap the wheel at specified intervals (see. Below).
| Types and causes of wear of the tire tread
|
Types and causes of wear of the tire tread 1. Side tread wear Reasons: insufficient pressure in the tire (tread wear sides) wrong camber of the front wheels (one-sided tread wear). cornering at high speed long rides without having to move the wheels Remedy: check the pressure and restore to normal Repair or replace suspension parts driving at a moderate speed move the wheel
2. Transverse angular wear Reasons: Improper wheel alignment Remedy: Adjust toe
3. Wear the central part of the tire Reasons: increased pressure in the tires long rides without having to move the wheels Remedy: check the pressure and restore to normal, move the wheel
4. Uneven wear Reasons: violation of camber or caster angle of the axis of rotation Abnormal operation of the front suspension unbalance wheel ovality of brake drum long rides without having to move the wheels
Remedy: Repair or replace suspension parts Balance the wheel Pierce or replace the drum Move the wheel
