On all four wheels:

Wheel

 

*   Turn the wheel. It must turn easily.

*   Inspect the wheel. It may not exhibit any signs of damage and the surface may not exhibit any undercuts.

*   Inspect the diameter. The wheel must have a minimum diameter of 128 mm at its thickest point.

*   If the wheel is damaged, hard to turn, or the diameter is too small: Replace the wheel. See Replacing the wheels.
