Tire Inspection

Every time you check inflation, you

should also examine the tires for

damage, foreign objects, and wear.

You should look for:

●

Bumps or bulges in the tread or

side of the tire. Replace the tire if

you find either of these conditions.

●

Cuts, splits, or cracks in the side of

the tire. Replace the tire if you can

see fabric or cord.

●

Excessive tread wear.

Your tires have wear indicators

molded into the tread. When the

tread wears down, you will see a 1/2

inch (12.7 mm) wide band across the

tread. This shows there is less than

1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread left on

the tire.

A tire this worn gives very little

traction on wet roads. You should

replace the tire if you can see three

or more tread wear indicators.

Tire Service Life

The service life of your tires is

dependent on many factors,

including, but not limited to, driving

habits, road conditions, vehicle

loading, inflation pressure,

maintenance history, speed, and

environmental conditions (even

when the tires are not in use).

In addition to your regular

inspections and inflation pressure

maintenance, it is recommended that

you have annual inspections

performed once the tires reach five

years old. It is also recommended

that all tires, including the spare, be

removed from service after 10 years

from the date of manufacture,

regardless of their condition or state

of wear.

The last four digits of the TIN (tire

identification number) are found on

the sidewall of the tire and indicate

the date of manufacture (See Tire

Labeling on page 612).
