When It's Time for New Tires
One way to tell when
it's 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:
D
You can see the indicators at three or more places
around the tire.
D
You can see cord or fabric showing through the
tire's rubber.
D
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep
enough to show cord or fabric.
D
The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
D
The tire has a puncture, cut or other damage that
can't be repaired well because of the size or location
of the damage.
