| Sign | Cause | |
| Increased tire wear on both sides of the tread | Tire pressure is too low | , |
| Increased tire wear in the middle of the tread across the entire surface | Too high air pressure in the tires | |
| Wear of the sidewalls of the tread | Static and dynamic wheel imbalance. Possibly increased lateral runout of the disc, increased play in the wheel hub bearings or axial joints | |
| Center tread wear | Static wheel imbalance. May be due to too much radial runout | |
| Heavy wear in certain areas in the middle of the tread | Consequence of wheel locking during sudden braking. It is possible that the brake drum is out of round shape, which causes the wheel to lock in a certain position | |
| Sawtooth or scaly tread wear | Consequence of vehicle overload | |
| Rubber tongues on the side edges of the tread | Incorrect wheel installation. Check the condition of the rear shock absorbers | |
| Burrs on the side surfaces of the front wheels | Incorrect wheel alignment, frequent driving on steep roads, fast driving on turns | |
| Holes in the tire frame (at first visible only | The consequences of driving on sharp-edged stones and overcoming obstacles |
