Replacing a Tire

Always use tires that are in good condition

Driving with worn tires is dangerous. Reduced braking, steering, and

traction could result in an accident.

If a tire wears evenly, a wear indi-

cator will appear as a solid band

across the tread. Replace the tire

when this happens.

You should replace the tire before

the band crosses the entire tread.

Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used on the road.

It is recommended that tires generally be replaced when they are 6 years

or older. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions

can accelerate the aging process. You should replace the spare tire when

you replace the other road tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The

period in which the tire was manufactured (both week and year) is indi-

cated by a 4-digit number.

Refer to Tire Labeling on P. 567.

Safety Practices

The way you drive has a great deal to do with your tire mileage and

safety. So cultivate good driving habits for your own benefit.

● Observe posted speed limits and drive at speeds that are safe for

the existing weather conditions

● Avoid fast starts, stops and turns

● Avoid potholes and objects on the road

● Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking
