1- check the tire pressure

2- visually check the tire, look for cracking and spliting in between the tread blocks and along the edges where the sidewall meets the the flat surface- if it has it replace it

3- lay hand flat along thread and move your hand back and forth (side to side over the thread) is its cupping you will be able to feel it, it will feel normal moving your hand one direction but moving it another dirrection you will feel the edge of every threazd block, kinda like that side of all the thread blocks are sticking up- if it has it replace it

4- doesn't aply to much but in order for me to pass a car as a VW Assured vehicle there has to be at least 4/32 of an inch thread depth left

5- also look to see if the outside edges are moe worn then the middle and vise versa- if it has either its due to improver inflation

if you have #2 or #3 replace the tire
