Section 16 (Maintenance): Tyres: Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Land Rover Freelander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check for any apparent damage to tyres, paying particular attention to side walls.
  2. Look at tyre treads and check for any unusual wear patterns which may indicate out of specification adjustment of steering or suspension.
    NOTE: Any adjustments to steering or suspension will be subject to additional labour and/or material cost and should not be carried out without the authorization of the customer.
  3. Measure the tread depth across the width of the tyre and around the circumference. Annotate the maintenance check sheet with the lowest figure obtained from each tyre.
    NOTE: Any requirement to replace tyres should be advised to the customer before any remedial work is carried out. This will be subject to additional labour and/or material cost and should not be carried out without the authorization of the customer.
    CAUTION: If new tyres are to be fitted, ensure that they are fitted to the rear axle only or to both front and rear axles. DO NOT fit new tyres to front axle only.
