Inspection guidelines
Every time you check inflation, also examine the tyres and valve stems.
Look for:
• Bumps or bulges on the side or in the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any cuts,
splits, or cracks in the side of the tyre. Replace it if you see fabric or cord.
• Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks.
• Uneven tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
• Excessive tread wear.

1Checking Tyres
Have a dealer check the tyres if you feel a consistent
vibration while driving. New tyres and any that have
been removed and reinstalled should be properly
balanced.
