Ensure valve caps are present and properly secured

Verify tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) functionality if equipped

Tread Depth & Pattern Assessment

Measure tread depth using approved tread depth gauge at multiple points

Verify minimum tread depth meets legal requirements (4/32" minimum)

Check for uneven wear patterns across the tire surface

Inspect for feathering, cupping, or other irregular wear indicators

Verify tread depth consistency between dual tires

Tire Condition & Damage Inspection

Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks, bulges, or punctures

Check for embedded objects (nails, screws, stones) in tread area

Examine rim flanges for damage that could affect tire seating

Lug Nut & Hardware Inspection

Check all lug nuts for proper tightness using torque wrench

Inspect lug nuts for damage, corrosion, or thread wear

Check for missing or loose wheel hardware

Look for signs of wheel movement or slippage
