Short Description
Tires are selected according to vehicle characteristics and performances. A careful driving reduces tires wear and increases the grip of tires on road surface; the following table lists the most frequent causes that accelerate tread wear.

- high speed
- high speed while turning
- hot climates
- high loads
- irregular inflating pressure
- rough road surface
- sudden accelerations and decelerations
- sudden stops
It is then advisable to check periodically the tires wear (checking with a comparator the thread thickness), inflating pressure and general tire conditions (check for absense of damage).

TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. for example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1.5) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. However, the relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
