Excessive
misalignment
caused
by kerb impact
or other
accidental
damage
will
result in

Tye
Wear
The
characteristics
of
tyres
vary considerably
and, therefore,
when new
tyres
are
fitted
all
four
must
be
of the
correct
type
and
rating.
Occasionally
remove
flints
and
other
road matter
from
the
treads
and examine
the
tyres
for
sharp
fins,
flats
and other
irregularities.
An
upstanding
shaqp
fin
on the
edge
of each
pattern rib is
a sure
sign
of road
wheel
misalignment
(Fig.
34).
Fins
on
the inside
of the
pattern
ribs indicate
toe-in.
Fins
on
the outside
edges indicate
toe-out.
Sharp
pattern
edges may
also
be
caused by
road
camber,
even when
wheel
alignment
is
correct.
In
such
cases, it
is
better
to make
sure
by having
the track
checked
with
an
alignment
gauge.
"Spotty"

your
Triumph
Dearer
will
check
the action
of
the brales
and re-balance
the
tyres if
required.
The
original
degree
of balance
is
not
necessariry
maintained,
and it
may
be
affected
by
uneven
tread
wear,
by repairs,
by
tyre
removal
and refitting,
or by wheel
damage
and eccentricities.
The
vehicle may
also become more
sensitive
to unbalance
due
to
normal
wear
of
moving
parts.
Tyes
Wheels
and tyres
of correct
types and
pressures, are an integral
part
of
the
vehicle's
design. Thus
the regular maintenance
of the
tyres
contributes
not
only to the safety
but to the designed
functioning
of the
vehicle,
as
road holding,
steering and braking
are especially
vulnerable to
the use of incorrectly
pressurised,
badly fitted
or worn tyres.
