Almost all the car tires are TWI ( Tread Wear Indicator ) . Its function is to detect the condition of the tires , is it still worth taking or not . If the TWI has been eroded by asphalt or even disappear , its time to replace a new tire .Seeing what percentage live TWI sometimes complicated especially tires still mounted on a vehicle . " You see , there are only TWI position at some point only. Moreover, if a vehicle is flat would be difficult to see or measure , " said Johan Karuci , retainer BC Motorsport in number Long Way , West Jakarta .Knowing the inside tread wear is very important , because it relates directly to the traction on road surfaces under various conditions .For example, when passing through the road surface is wet, the tires needed to remove water quickly . If not , then it could happen hydroplaning or floating on the water . In effect, the tires lose traction and very dangerous .Already reduced tread wear depth is also an effect on dry roads . " Tires are less bite during high speed . If the road is not so tight not taste the difference , " said Johan .Please refer to the simple way to measure tread wear with tools practiced directly. 1 . TWI as a reminder to change the monitor . There are other ways without seeing or looking for TWI , the use of coins , rulers , and other tools to look inside tread wear . 2 . To know for sure , where the position of TWI , the wheel should be removed and also in order to measure with certainty the depth of tread wear . 3 . Could also use a matchstick or a ball point if trouble finding TWI . The trick , just fill in the gap julienne tread . Then , mark the rod with a ball point . 4 . So , the rod that has been marked , measuring with a ruler . The new tire tread wear was 1.6 mm and each manufacturer has a standard size depending ebrbeda . 5 . Measurements not only at the insolence tread wear . You see , it could be consumed next to the side of the tire just because spooring incorrect or legs no problem .
