Cuts in the Tire Tread
Cuts are due to poor roads, air pressure too high or incorrect
tire type for the application.
Spot Wear
Sudden braking, locking brakes or out-of-round brake drums
give spot wear.
Feathered Edges
Normal occurrence on non-driving wheels on good roads
and high mileage.
Cupping
Cupping is a normal occurrence that depends on the tread
pattern - the higher the load, the greater the wear.
