7-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Replace the tires if the treadwear indi-
cators are showing on a tire.
■
When to replace your vehicle's
tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●
The treadwear indicators are showing
on a tire.
●
You have tire damage such as cuts,
splits, cracks deep enough to expose
the fabric, and bulges indicating inter-
nal damage
●
A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot
be properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with your
Toyota dealer.
■
Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be
checked by a qualified technician even if
it has seldom or never been used or
damage is not obvious.
■
If the tread on snow tires wears
down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow
tires is lost.
■
Checking the tire valves
When replacing the tires, check the tire
valves for deformation, cracks, and
other damage.
WARNING
■
When inspecting or replacing
tires
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage
to parts of the drive train as well as
dangerous handling characteristics,
which may lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
●
Do not mix tires of different makes,
models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably
different treadwear.

snow tires.

NOTICE
■
If tire inflation pressure of each
tire becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires
and/or wheels may be ruined.
■
Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on
roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in
tire inflation pressure, reducing the
cushioning ability of the tires. In addi-
tion, driving on rough roads may
cause damage to the tires them-
selves, as well as the vehicle's
wheels and body.
Tire rotation
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
