Inspecting Your Tires and

Wheel Valve Stems

Periodically inspect the tire treads

for uneven or excessive wear and

remove objects such as stones,

nails or glass that may be wedged

in the tread grooves. Check the tire

and valve stems for holes, cracks,

or cuts that may permit air

leakage and repair or replace the

tire and replace the valve stem.

Inspect the tire sidewalls for

cracking, cuts, bruises and other

signs of damage or excessive

wear. If internal damage to the tire

is suspected, have the tire

demounted and inspected in case

it needs to be repaired or replaced.

For your safety, tires that are

damaged or show signs of

excessive wear should not be used

because they are more likely to

blow out or fail.

Improper or inadequate vehicle

maintenance can cause tires to

wear abnormally. Inspect all your

tires, including the spare,

frequently, and replace them if

one or more of the following

conditions exist:

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
