uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails,
glass, or other objects lodged in the tread or

Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges.
Check the lug nut/bolt torque for tightness.
Check the tires (including spare) for proper cold
inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake
lights and exterior lights while you work the
controls. Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument panel.

checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts.
