Tread wear

[{"selector":"#anim-687f4407-f27a-489c-9e8e-05c8f6bc8e9f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-3.325470873994378%, 0, 0) translate(15.06024096385542%, 7.89735799575747%) scale(0.6987951807228916)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bbc5dc5a-cddb-4530-96c0-33b8dbcee1a2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-38e0f402-0425-4e15-92a5-e284219d32af","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ec619778-3829-4420-bcf7-aa89d94f95fb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dcc4234d-d9dc-41b4-9a7a-0796c97d5ce7","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Look at the tread on your vehicle’s tyres. Over time, with use, the tread depth will reduce and that indicates that the tyre is wearing off.

Bulges

[{"selector":"#anim-52093a9c-667b-4ae5-8e97-005dcd465610 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-18.957824611678145%, 0, 0) translate(15.06024096385542%, 14.97645592206532%) scale(0.6987951807228916)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2e10d923-7552-4b1f-b6d7-e40988050184","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bea85e9e-e72f-4a2a-9b68-127cee8d5c76","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6ad99399-6f21-454f-929a-a4a3b85953ea","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da020a7b-284d-4fe0-bc98-b502eaf4b62f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Sometimes a tyre would develop a bulge. This could be because of high temperature, improper tyre pressure, bad roads, or poor tyre quality.

Cracks

[{"selector":"#anim-390502f5-243c-485b-8699-90b4b095e9e0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-20.5462094594173%, 0, 0) translate(15.06024096385542%, 14.969325277548633%) scale(0.6987951807228916)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-47c00f5e-388e-4a53-a5e4-a4c6c8ecc5bb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aa06fa3a-56ec-4385-a9aa-283afc892fa7","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-933b9517-4dc7-41d5-8129-47ff5cba1437","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d26f3a26-b95f-48e9-9abf-1262091c8f8b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] If you do not use your motorcycle often and it has been stationary in extreme weather conditions, it can develop cracks.

Damaged sidewall

[{"selector":"#anim-7887bfbd-b0fe-4cc5-81a7-741b0567d57e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-0.06031157240287689%, 0, 0) translate(15.06024096385542%, 14.962194633031938%) scale(0.6987951807228916)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-78b5c7a9-2001-442d-9509-eef6af420eb4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da714da4-acc9-4326-abce-e614bc149a7b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d2a8e052-ea36-4a2b-866b-40e6b4d14e72","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-563968d0-4c34-44fb-87bd-fb09fd92c126","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Another irreparable damage. If the sidewall has the slightest of the cuts, it is impossible to repair it, especially on tubeless tyres.
