Tread Wear

Tread wear directly affects the driver’s safety and performance of the vehicle. It is essential for drivers to be well-informed about how to check for tread wear on a regular basis

Importance of Checking for Tread Wear

  • The deeper the groove, which is on the surface of the tyre, the more grip a tyre will have. You can prevent danger of unexpected accidents by checking for tread wear on a regular basis.

Recommended Interval Between Check-ups

  • Hankook recommends that you check for tread wear at least once a month. Also, make sure you check your tyres before and after a long journey.

Checking for Tread Wear with Tread Wear Indicator

  • You can check for the depth of the groove by using a tyre tread depth gauge or by observing the Tread Wear Indicator on the side of the tyre. To ensure optimum safety and performance, tyres should be replaced when the tyre groove wears below.
