When to replace your vehicle's tires

Tires should be replaced if:
You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to

expose the fabric or bulges indicating internal damage
 A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size
or location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.


Tire life

Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if
they have seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.


If the tread wears down 4 mm (0.16 in.) or more on snow tires
