Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener-

ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam-

one. Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than

30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 30 seconds continu-

ously when you are stuck, and do not let anyone near

a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread

grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth
