the driver's doorjamb.
TIRE INFORMATION LABEL
Maintenance
You should get your own tire
pressure gauge and use it
whenever you check your tire
pressures. This will make it
easier for you to tell if a pressure
loss is due to a tire problem and
not due to a variation between
gauges.
Tubeless tires have some ability
to self-seal if they are punctured.
However, because leakage is
often very slow, you should look
closely for punctures if a tire
starts losing pressure.
Inspection
Every time you check inflation,
you should also examine the tires
for damage, foreign objects, and
wear.
You should look for:
Bumps or bulges in the tread
or side of the tire. Replace
the tire if you find either of
these conditions.
Cuts, splits, or cracks in the
side of the tire. Replace the tire
if you can see fabric or cord.
Excessive tread wear.
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
(12.7 mm) wide band running
across the tread. This shows there
is less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of
tread left on the tire. A tire that is
this worn gives very little traction
