Defining Original Tire Tread Depth for Products

For tire product records, define the original tread depth for warranty and return purposes. When customers return tires, the system uses the original tread depth and a percent of wear table to determine the return value for the tire.

Note: The Original Tire Tread Depth utility works with Return Goods Verification.

Define original tread depth in integrals of 1/32 of an inch. For each 1/32 of an inch of the original tread depth, enter a whole number.

For example:

1 = 1/32, 2 = 1/16, and 3 = 3/32.

Or you can use decimals to define original tread depth, which also relate to each 1/32 of an inch.

For example:

0.5 = 1/64, or half of 1/32.

To define the original tire tread depth for a tire product record:

  1. From the Files menu, select Product to display the Product Maintenance screen.

  2. Display the tire product record for which to define original tread depth.

  3. Use the Add'l hot key and then the Misc Product Info hot key to display the Miscellaneous Product Information screen.

  4. In the Original Tread Depth field, enter a value for each 1/32 of inch of the original tread depth.

  1. Press Esc to save changes and exit the screen.
