the road in adverse (wet, snowy, etc.) conditions. Visually check your

tires for uneven wear, looking for high and low areas or unusually

smooth areas. Also check for signs of tire damage.

When the tread is worn down to

1/16th of an inch (2 mm), tires must

be replaced to prevent your vehicle

from skidding and hydroplaning.

Built-in treadwear indicators, or

“wear bars”, which look like narrow

strips of smooth rubber across the

tread will appear on the tire when

the tread is worn down to 1/16th of

an inch (2 mm). When the tire tread

wears down to the same height as

these “wear bars”, the tire is worn

out and should be replaced.

Inspect your tires frequently for any

of the following conditions and

replace them if one or more of the

following conditions exist:

• Fabric showing through the tire

rubber

• Bulges in the tread or sidewalls

• Cracks or cuts on the sidewalls

• Cracks in the tread groove

• Impact damage resulting from use

• Separation in the tread

• Separation in the sidewall

• Severe abrasion on the sidewall

If your vehicle has a leak in the exhaust system, a road tire or the spare

tire may be exposed to hot exhaust temperatures requiring the tire to be

replaced.

Safety practices

Driving habits have a great deal to do with your tire mileage and safety.

• Observe posted speed limits

• Avoid fast starts, stops and turns
