TREAD WEAR
INDICATORS
Your car's tires have wear indicators
molded into the tread. When the
tread wears down to that point, you
will see a 1/2 inch wide band running
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1/16 inch of tread left on
the tire. A tire that is this worn gives
very little traction on wet roads. You
should replace the tire if you can see
the tread wear indicator in three or
more places around the tire.

tire wear. You should get your car's
wheel alignment checked every 12
months or 15,000 miles.
The tires were properly balanced by
the factory. They may need to be
rebalanced at some time before they
are worn out. Have your dealer check
the tires if you feel a consistent
vibration while driving. A tire should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel for repair.
Make sure the installer balances the
wheels when you have new tires
installed. This increases riding
comfort and tire life.
NOTICE
Improper wheel weights can damage
your car's aluminum wheels. Use
only genuine Acura wheel weights
for balancing.
Tire Rotation
FRONT
To help increase tire life and distrib-
ute wear more evenly, you should
have the tires rotated every 7,500
miles. Move the tires to the positions
shown in the chart each t i m e they are
rotated.
