The tire must be replaced when the
tread wear indicator appears. It will
appear between the tread grooves when
the tire has 1.6 mm or less of tread left.
Note
Always dispose of worn tires
according to the local environmental
regulations.
Tire Rotation
Front tires and rear tires have different
working conditions, and therefore they
wear out at different rates.
Normally, the front tires will wear
faster than rear tires. To make your tires
last longer and to avoid uneven tread
wear:
1. Have the tires rotated according to
the maintenance schedule in the
Manual.
2. Maintain a proper tire pressure.
3. Inspect the tightness of wheel nuts.
Always use the recommended
wheels and recommended wheel
nuts.
Otherwise you could lose control of
the vehicle and cause a collision,
resulting in personal injury or
damage to your vehicle or other
property.
