Tyre Service Life

The life of your tyres is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tyres are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tyres reach five
years old. All tyres, including the spare, should be removed from service after 10
years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.
576
The groove where the wear indicator is
located is about 1.6 mm shallower than
elsewhere on the tyre. If the tread has worn so
that the indicator is exposed, replace the tyre.
Worn out tyres have poor traction on wet
roads.
1Checking Tyres
Have a dealer check the tyres if you feel a consistent
vibration while driving. New tyres and any that have
been removed and reinstalled should be properly
balanced.
High speed driving
Models with 215/50R17 91V tyres
We recommend that you do not drive faster than the
posted speed limits and conditions allow. If you drive
at sustained high speeds (over 160 km/h), adjust the
cold tyre pressures as shown below to avoid excessive
heat build up and sudden tyre failure.
Tyre Size 215/50R17 91V
