Wear on the side of the treadmill
Low tire pressure (wear on both sides): Low pressure causes the tire to overheat due to increased deformation and improper tire contact with the road. This causes reduced tire grip, wear, not to mention the possibility of tire damage due to overheating. Check and adjust the pressure.
Incorrect wheel alignment (wear on one side): Repair or replace suspension components.
Sharp turns: Slow down!
Wear of the center of the treadmill
High tire pressure: High pressure causes wear on the middle part of the tread. The tire has poor grip, the ride becomes "hard", and the risk of cord breakage increases when the wheel hits an obstacle. Check and adjust the pressure.
If you occasionally need to overinflate your tires to carry heavy loads or drive at high speeds, be sure to return the pressure to the nominal level afterwards.
Uneven wear
The front tires may have uneven wear due to misalignment. Service stations can identify and correct this problem.
Incorrect camber or kingpin caster: Repair or replace suspension components.
Incorrect suspension operation: Repair or replace suspension components.
Unbalanced wheels: Balance tires.
Incorrect toe-in: Adjust front wheel alignment.
Note: Sharp tread edges, indicating wear due to improper toe-in, are best detected by touch.
