1. Worn tread
Look for tread wear indicators and uneven or heavily worn areas. Have the tyre inspected rather than relying on a coin test or an unverified universal replacement interval.
2. Bulges or exposed cords
A sidewall bulge or exposed tyre cords needs urgent professional attention. Do not continue normal driving on a visibly damaged tyre; arrange safe assistance.
3. Cuts and cracking
Cuts and significant cracking can indicate damage. A technician must assess the tyre, because not every puncture or damaged area is safely repairable.
4. Repeated pressure loss
If a tyre repeatedly loses pressure, have the tyre, valve and wheel checked. Re-inflating it repeatedly without finding the cause is not a solution.
5. New vibration or handling changes
Vibration, pulling or changed handling can have several causes, including wheels and suspension. Request an inspection rather than assuming that replacement tyres alone will solve it.
Check the original guidance
For tyre selection and ratings, use your vehicle’s instructions alongside manufacturer guidance. Warranty questions are governed by the current MRF policy.
