	Check
2	Assess wear pattern of tires on front and rear axle.	 Greater wear at the shoulder compared to the center of the tire is normal for the front wheel-and-tire assemblies. On the tires of the rear wheel-and-tire assemblies the wear at the center of the tread depth is mostly somewhat more pronounced than at the tire shoulders.
		If an unusual wear pattern is present,
		
		rectify problem.
		 After obtaining special order.
3	Assess tire tread depths of tires on front and rear axle.	 For summer tires with a minimum tread depth of approx. 3 mm (0.12 inches) and for winter tires with a minimum tread depth of approx. 4 mm (0.16 inches), replace tires for safety reasons. Damage can otherwise occur.
		 The major tread must exhibit a minimum tread depth of at least 1.6 mm (0.06 inches) along its entire circumference. Assess tire tread depth at point of greatest wear.
		 The cited tire tread depths apply for the Federal Republic of Germany. Observe other country-specific requirements accordingly.
		If the minimum tread depth is reached,
		
		replace the tire.
		 After obtaining special order.
