6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Check if the treadwear indicators
are showing on the tires. Also
check the tires for uneven wear,
such as excessive wear on one
side of the tread.
Check the spare tire condition and
pressure if not rotated.
New tread
Worn tread
Treadwear indicator
The location of treadwear indicators is
shown by a “TWI” or “ ” mark, etc., molded into the sidewall of each tire.
Replace the tires if the treadwear indi-
cators are showing on a tire.
■When to replace your vehicle’s
tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●The treadwear indicators are showing
on a tire.
●You have tire damage such as cuts,
splits, cracks deep enough to expose
the fabric, and bulges indicating inter-
nal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot
be properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be
checked by a qualified technician even if
it has seldom or never been used, or
damage is not obvious.
■Low profile tires (16 and 17-inch
tires)
Generally, low profile tires will wear
more rapidly and tire grip performance
will be reduced on snowy and/or icy
roads when compared to standard tires.
Be sure to use snow tires on snowy
and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a
speed appropriate for road and weather
conditions.
■If the tread on snow tires wears
down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow
tires is lost.
■Checking the tire valves
When replacing the tires, check the tire
valves for deformation, cracks, and
other damage.
Tires
Replace or rotate tires in
accordance with maintenance
schedules and treadwear.
