Tread wear indicators are built into the origi- nal equipment tires on your vehicle to help you know when your tires should be replaced.Many states have laws requiring that you replace your tires at this point. These indicators are molded into the bottomof the tread grooves and will appear when the tire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).When the bands appear next to one another in two or more places, replace your tires.

To even out the wear on your tires and make them last longer, Mitsubishi Motors Corpora-tion recommends that you rotate your tires at the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.However, the timing for tire rotation may vary according to your vehicle condition, road surface conditions, and your own per-sonal driving habits. Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as pos- sible. When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage, and wheel alignment. Abnormal wear is usually caused by a wrong tire pres- sure, wheels that are not aligned properly,wheels that are out-of-balance, or severe braking. Check with an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice to
find out the reason for uneven tread wear. The first tire rotation is the most important one. It will allow all your tires to wear evenly.
Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheels should be used, because your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sys- tem. Use of another type of wheel risks air leaksand sensor damage, as it will not be possible to install the tire pressure sensor properly.NOTE
On vehicles with Electric parking brake, 16 inch steel wheels cannot be used on yourvehicle because they interfere with brake parts. Additionally, 16 inch aluminum wheels maynot be used on your vehicle depending on the type, even if they are Mitsubishi Motors Genuine wheels.Consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer with specific questions on wheels that can be used on your vehicle.
