Inspection Guidelines; Wear Indicators; Tire And Loading Information Label - Honda Insight 2020 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE
• Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower
than the others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
• Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has
been parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If
necessary, add or release air until the specified pressure is reached. If
checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 4-6 psi (30-40 kPa,
2
0.3-0.4 kgf/cm ) higher than checked when cold.
• At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the
pressure in all tires, including the spare
can lose 1-2 psi (10-20 kPa, 0.1-0.2 kgf/cm

Inspection Guidelines

n
Every time you inflate the tires, check for the following:
• Bumps or bulges on the side or in the tread. Replace the tire if you find
any cuts, splits, or cracks in the side of the tire. Replace it if you see
fabric or cord.
• Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. Replace tires if you
see fabric or cord.
• Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel
alignment.
• Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
Vehicles with optional spare tire: Check the spare tire pressure once a
month or before long trips.
Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in the owner's manual regarding tire inflation and
maintenance.

Wear Indicators

n
The groove where the wear indicator is
located is 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower
than elsewhere on the tire. If the tread
has worn so low that the indicator is
exposed, replace the tire. Worn out
tires have poor traction on wet roads.
