Tire Wear

E142546

When the tread is worn down to

one sixteenth of an inch (2 mm),

tires must be replaced to help

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 one

sixteenth of an inch (2

millimeters)

When the tire tread wears down

to the same height as these wear

bars, the tire is worn out and must

be replaced.

Damage

Periodically inspect the tire treads

and sidewalls for damage (such

as bulges in the tread or sidewalls,

cracks in the tread groove and

separation in the tread or

sidewall). If damage is observed

or suspected have the tire

inspected by a tire professional.

Tires can be damaged during

off-road use, so inspection after

off-road use is also

recommended.

Age

WARNING

Tires degrade over time depending

on many factors such as weather,

storage conditions, and conditions

of use (load, speed, inflation pressure) the

tires experience throughout their lives.

In general, tires should be replaced after

six years regardless of tread wear.

However, heat caused by hot climates or

frequent high loading conditions can

accelerate the aging process and may

require tires to be replaced more

frequently.

You should replace your spare tire when

you replace the road tires or after six years

due to aging even if it has not been used.

U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number

(TIN)

Both U.S. and Canada Federal

regulations require tire

manufacturers to place

standardized information on the

sidewall of all tires. This

information identifies and

describes the fundamental

characteristics of the tire and also

provides a U.S. DOT Tire

Identification Number for safety

standard certification and in case

of a recall.
