When the tread is worn down to onesixteenth of an inch (2 mm), tires mustbe replaced to help prevent your vehiclefrom skidding and hydroplaning. Built-intreadwear indicators, or wear bars,which look like narrow strips of smoothrubber across the tread will appear onthe tire when the tread is worn down toone sixteenth of an inch (2 mm).
When the tire tread wears down to thesame height as these wear bars, the tireis worn out and must be replaced.
The tires should also be balancedperiodically. An unbalanced tire andwheel assembly may result in irregulartire wear.
Periodically inspect the tire treads foruneven or excessive wear and remove
objects such as stones, nails or glassthat may be wedged in the treadgrooves.
INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR
DAMAGE
Inspect the tire sidewalls for cracking,cuts, bruises and other signs of damageor excessive wear. If internal damage tothe tire is suspected, have the tiredismounted and inspected in case itneeds to be repaired or replaced. Foryour safety, tires that are damaged orshow signs of excessive wear shouldnot be used because they are morelikely to blow out or fail.
Periodically inspect the tire treads andsidewalls for damage, such as bulges inthe tread or sidewalls, cracks in thetread groove and separation in the treador sidewall. If damage is observed orsuspected, have the tire inspected by atire professional.
