TREAD WEAR

WARNING
This section is one section of a complete service
manual. Before starting any procedure, read all
warnings and instructions that are located in the
Service Guidelines chapter.
It is important to periodically inspect each tires tread for wear.
Driving with inadequate tread increases the risk of loosing
control of the vehicle due to hydroplaning on a wet road
surface. It also increases the risk of a flat tire due to road
debris. Extreme tire wear can result in sudden tire failure and
loss of control of the vehicle.
Refer to the maintenance schedule in this manual for the
recommended interval.
Minimum recommended tread depth is 1/16 inch (1.6
mm). There are a series of tread depth wear indicators
around the circumference of the tire. They will appear as
approximately 1/2 inch (12 mm) bands across the tread as
the tire approaches its wear limit (see illustration). The tire
should be replaced if any tread depth indicator can be seen
or any part of the tread depth is 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or less.
