Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Tire Service Life, Influences
| The following factors influence the service life of a tire
in varying degrees. |
| Exterior temperature/climate |
| Dynamic toe and camber values |
| Tire Operating Conditions |
| Changes to the Suspension: |
| If a “lowering-kit” and /or light alloy wheels from
accessories which have not been approved by the vehicle
manufacturer are used, wheel alignments which deviate from the
alignment specified in design may occur during travel. |
| Even if the adjustment of the axle geometry measured on a
standing vehicle is correct, changes in the body height and
positions of the wheels during travel can lead to changes to the
paths of travel of the wheel suspension. |
| For this reason, uneven wear is pre-programmed. |
