This wear pattern is found on the driven wheels of high-performance vehicles that are frequently driven long distances at high speeds. |
At high speeds, centrifugal forces cause the tyre diameter to increase more in the middle of the running surface than it does at the shoulder. This causes drive forces to be transferred to the road surface from the central area of the running surface. This is reflected in the wear pattern. |
Effects of this kind can be especially pronounced on wide tyres. |
It is not possible to counter this wear pattern by reducing the tyre pressure. |
DANGER! For safety reasons, the tyre pressure must not under any circumstances be reduced below the specified tyre pressure. |
|
A more or less even tread wear pattern can be achieved by interchanging the tyres on the driven wheels and non-driven wheels in good time. |
