Script
“The tires should be properly inflated.”
“I would check this using a pressure gauge.”
“The valve stems are accessible and a metal cap is in place.”
“The cap would be removed and a pressure gauge used to check the pressure.”
“I would look for abrasions, bulges or cuts on the tires.”
“Finally, I would check for minimum tread depth.”
“This is 4/32″ on the steering axle and 2/32″ on other axles.”
“Recapped tires cannot be used on the steering axle.”
