AV-SCANNER / Service function guides / Steering and suspension
This guide teaches you to read tyre wear patterns as a diagnostic map, linking each irregularity to its root cause in alignment, inflation, suspension, or driving habit. It is written for motorists who want to catch problems before they cost a set of tyres, and for working mechanics who need a repeatable inspection routine. You will learn the full procedure from preparation and measurement through road testing and aftercare, including how the job changes across passenger cars, light trucks, and performance vehicles. By the end you will be able to identify a wear pattern, trace it to a specific fault, and verify the repair with a follow-up check.
Guidance is general and covers many makes. Exact procedures and values vary by model, so confirm them in the factory service information for your vehicle.
