time for new tires is to
check the treadwear
indicators, which
will
appear when your tires have
only
1/16 inch (1.6
mm)
or
less of tread remaining.
You need a new tire if any of the following statements
are true:
You can see the indicators
at
three
or more
places
around the tire.

You can see cord or fabric showing through the
tire's rubber.

enough to show cord or fabric.
e The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
@
The tire has a puncture, cut or other damage that
can't be repaired well because of the size or location
of the damage.
