Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Cracking
Cracking is the term for shallow cracks in the sidewall of
the tire. |
They run starting from the bulge in the direction of the
tire shoulder. See Illustration for the mentioned components.
Refer to
→ Fig. „“Components of a Tire”“. |
The cause is the increase in material at the joints of the
tire components. |
Cracking has no effect on |
Other characteristics of the tire. |
Cracks can be of varying visibility. Removing the tire from
the rim or an examination is not necessary. |
Modern steel belted tires are constructed with single-ply
sidewalls to save weight. |
The sidewall components consist of long strips before they
are joined together to form a tire. They must overlap at the
joints. Small irregularities/ripples form in the area of the
overlapping components. The overlaps are easier to see from the
outside due to the single-ply construction. |
