We have received a query form one of our pilots relating to the identification of tyre creep on our B737NG aircraft. i checked the manuals and found definition of tyre creep as rotation/movement of the tire in relation to wheel. We have spoken to the wheels/brakes workshop mechanics who advised that on tire/wheel assembly they align the red dot on the tubeless tire (also known as the 'light spot') with the valve. i couldnt find anything in AMM ATA 32-45 concerning any allowable limits to tyre creep. Can anyone advise if there is any tyre creep limit, the question is, when the red dot wears off which I am told it does do quite quickly, how do they identify when the tyre has crept and whether it actually matters.
