Tyre and Wheel Inspection


182126

The tyres on all new production models have a tyre performance criteria (TPC) rating number moulded on the sidewall. The TPC rating will appear as a 4-digit number preceded by the letters TPC SPEC on the tyre wall near the tyre size. A replacement tyre should have the same TPC rating.

Inspect the tyre and wheel assemblies for the following conditions:

    • Unusual wear such as cupping, flat spots, and/or heel-and-toe wear
        These conditions can cause tyre growl, tyre howl, slapping noises, and/or vibrations throughout the vehicle.
    • Proper inflation to specifications for the vehicle
    • Bulges in the sidewalls
        Do not confuse bulges, which are an abnormal condition, with normal ply splices which are commonly seen as indentations in the sidewall.
    • Bent rim flanges
