Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Inspecting Tires

technician and the driver should regularly check the tires, as
it is the best form of early problem recognition. |
| Pre-damaged tires cannot withstand driving situations like
high vehicle speed, long driving distance, sporty driving style
and similar situations. |
| Damage can occur from various causes: |
| Driving with low tire pressure |
| Mistakes during tire mounting |
WARNING
| As soon as a safety risk cannot be ruled out, the
tire must be replaced. |

examining the tire: |
| Surface erosion or marbling on the inner side (pressure was
too low or insufficient for the load) |
