• Renewed: such tyres

Don't miss

• If the tyres are non-directional, ensure that all DOT classifications on the tyre face outwards. The wheels and/or tyres on the vehicle have possibly already been changed around at an earlier date.
• There must be no cross wind during the road test.

📋 Procedure

1. Check all suspension components on the front and rear axles for damage.
2. Check tyre pressure and correct if necessary.
3. Check the tyres for external damage: Punctures, cuts, blisters on the sidewalls, flat spots from braking and or damage to the tread.
4. Ask the customer if the tyre had been damaged by a nail or similar object and was repaired by a tyre dealer. You may have to renew such tyres.
5. Check tyres for even wear and tread depth.

6. Are all tyres of the same construction, make and tread pattern?
7. If the tyres are non-directional, ensure that all DOT classifications on the tyre face outwards. The wheels and/or tyres on the vehicle have possibly already been changed around at an earlier date.
8. Is the make of tyre approved by the factory as original equipment?
9. Perform the road test on a road which is level, straight and ungrooved and does not drop off to one side.
10. Perform the test drive with the customer under the conditions specified above. Ask the customer to demonstrate the problem. [Note: There must be no cross wind during the road test.]
