It is these symbols that are of great importance when choosing car tires, especially if they are purchased not new, but used.<\/p>\n<p>This is an indicator of uniform tread wear. Manufacturers describe it as a small triangle with an upward angle. This is one of the most popular designations.<\/p>\n<p>Pirelli, Goodyear, Toyo, Hankook, Yokohama: all these brands put a triangle on their tires.<\/p>\n<p>As a rule, manufacturers place a so-called tread wear indicator (TWI) on the side of the tire at the same distance along the entire diameter of the tire.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-212765-625037912ed02.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-212765-625037912ed02.webp\" alt=\"Summer tire tread wear indicator: details\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Manufacturers place a tread wear indicator on the side of the tire at the same distance<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>it is thanks to this triangle that a potential buyer can easily deter<a href=\"\/recomendet-cryptocloud_plus-product\" class=\"sds-arl\">mine<\/a> the degree and nature of tread wear.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The level of wear of a car tire can be uneven, so these indicators should be displayed over the entire area of \u200b\u200bu200bu200bthe tire. For example, if the car is out of camber, the pattern on the side of the tire will be removed.
