Tyre Inspection

We recommend that the tyres,
including the spare tyre, if the
vehicle has one, be inspected
for signs of wear or damage at
least once a month.
Replace the tyre if:
.
The indicators at three or
more places around the tyre
can be seen.
.
There is cord or fabric
showing through the tyre's
rubber.
.
The tread or sidewall is
cracked, cut, or snagged
deep enough to show cord or
fabric.
.
The tyre has a bump, bulge,
or split.
.
The tyre has a puncture, cut,
or other damage that cannot
be repaired well because of
the size or location of the
damage.

Tyre Rotation

Tyres should be rotated at
the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Schedule. See
Scheduled Maintenance on
page 10‑2.
Tyres are rotated to achieve
a uniform wear for all tyres.
The first rotation is the most
important.
If at any time unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tyres as soon
as possible and check the wheel
alignment. Also check for
damaged tyres or wheels.
