After a tire moves from the front axle to the rear axle, the log should still recognize it. Without mounting-position changes and measurement conditions, the next time a different reading appears it is hard to tell whether it reflects a maintenance result, a change in use or a recording mismatch.
Record the Actual Measurement, Not Just "Normal"
For a Wuling Yangguang passenger version, check the tire and pressure requirements specified in the manual and note the check conditions, the instrument used and the readings. NHTSA general maintenance material can be a reference, but its values must not be transplanted as Egyptian statutory thresholds, nor replace this vehicle's technical requirements.
| Log field | What to fill in | Later use |
|---|---|---|
| Tire identity and position | Original position, current position and date | Trace rotation history |
| Check result | Pressure, wear location and damage | Refer anomalies to professionals |
| Maintenance measure | Inflation, repair, replacement and re-check | Check whether the issue persists |
A check sheet can keep the tire's original marking, current mounting position and the vehicle documentation used; the person performing the check confirms the physical item before filling in the result. When the method or instrument conditions are not met, record the reason and refer it to the technical lead for arrangement. Do not compare readings taken under different conditions directly in the same column, and do not infer unperformed measurements backward from a warning state.
Each job should state the actual object handled; mounting-position changes and component replacements are recorded separately. The maintenance worker reports the measures, the warehouse keeps the new part's source and the old part's destination, and the driver provides the phenomena observed during use. Materials are linked by tire identity, avoiding a wrong history strung together by vehicle number alone.
Escalate the Check When an Anomaly Recurs
When the same tire repeatedly loses pressure, develops a bulge, or the vehicle has abnormal vibration, stop treating "top up the air again" as the complete handling and arrange a professional check under the safety requirements. Whether it returns to service is decided by the applicable test result; a busy shift is not a reason to postpone necessary handling.
For a recurring anomaly, the receiver can trace the previous measure and re-check result along the original event record, then refer it to a professional for judgment. Where only a past inflation is known and the later result is missing, keep the state of insufficient material. The driver is not asked to keep driving to reproduce the anomaly; dispatch assigns the vehicle under the approved conditions of use.
After a rotation or replacement, a reviewer can confirm the positions against the physical items, and later checks follow the applicable procedure. The original history continues to be kept; the new part gets a clear correspondence, and historical data is not wiped clean to show the vehicle never had an anomaly. Conclusions used to resume a task state who formed them and their scope.
Correcting a New Tire Mistakenly Attached to an Old Tire's History
Example: the contract and the physical vehicle prevail. After one VIN's tire is replaced, the log still continues the identity entry of the removed part. The reviewer can first check the replacement work order and the physical markings, separate the old part's exit from the new part's installation records, and then adjust the link. The stage lacking original material is marked as pending verification; do not guess from appearance.
After the correction, check whether the corresponding positions and the issue-and-return records are consistent, so the people responsible for later maintenance know which item is currently in use. The earlier anomaly remains in the old part's record, and checks of other areas of the vehicle are decided by the technician. Correcting the file does not mean the cause of uneven wear or pressure loss has been resolved.
FAQ
Are the numbers on the tire sidewall the vehicle's recommended pressure?
Confirm against the vehicle label or the applicable manual; do not mix up the purposes of different markings.
Is no record needed when the pressure warning has not lit?
Checks still follow the maintenance requirements; a warning does not replace routine measurement.
When a new tire replaces an old one, are the old records kept?
Keep the history, create a separate entry for the new tire and state the replacement relationship.
Can normal wear allow a crack to be ignored?
No. Damage should be referred separately to a professional for judgment.
When planning fleet maintenance, you can provide the model, the tire specification and the existing record items via the Starvia contact page or WhatsApp.
