TIPS: How important is it to carry out periodic inspections on truck and bus tires?
March 19 , 2021
WEST LAKE PNEUS recommends periodic inspection of truck and bus tires, checking that there are no malfunctions that could compromise your safety.
The presence of irregular wear on the tires, or the appearance of vibrations, are factors that determine the need for a new alignment and balancing of the tire and wheel set.
It is necessary to double the attention when examining the tires:
- Tread: detect if there are any abnormal wear, perforations, deformations or sharp objects;
- Side / Side Wall: to observe any cuts, cracks or breaks by lateral compression (due to holes, curbs, obstacles, etc.), the scraping wear against the curb (guides) and other forms of damage can be during use.
