As I always like to explain to tech crew when questioning tyre wear
...Do you go by road ?
or
Tech Log write up?
Defect:- Tyre almost worn out
Rectification:- Tyre almost changed
I too prefer to change wheels when I can see the air inside but rest assured "Skippy123" all pilots and engineers know the tyre wear limits of the aircraft they operate like the back of their hand due to the extra work load required when a tyre fails at takeoff/landing speeds.
