Tread Wear Indicators

Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment tires

to help you in determining when your tires should be

1 — Worn Tire

2 — New Tire

These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread

grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth

becomes a 1/16 of an inch (2 mm). When the tread is

worn to the tread wear indicators, the tire should be

replaced. Refer to "Replacement Tires" in this section for

further information.

The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying

factors including, but not limited to:

• Driving style.

• Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation pressures

can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the

tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce

tread life, resulting in the need for earlier tire replace-

• Distance driven.
