Tire Wear

E142546

When the tread is worn down to

one sixteenth of an inch (2

millimeters), 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.
