‘The tire is subjected to the many
forces transmitted by the vehicle.
Therefore, wear will depend on the
condition of the vehicle itself.

Also. driving speed and tire-

inflation determine the amount of
stress the lire can take fromthe
irregular surfaces it rides on,

On four-wheel-drive ve hicles,
mismatched replacement tires can
result in non-uniform torque trans-
mission through the differential into
the transfer case.

Regular checkups and: proper
lire rotation will help minimize
read wear and maximize the Jife-
span of your tires. :
