When temperature changes occur,
tire inflation pressures also
change. A 6°C or 10°F
temperature drop can cause a
corresponding drop of 1.0 psi
(7 kPa) in inflation pressure. Check
your tire pressure frequently and
adjust them to the proper pressure
which can be found on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label or
Tire Label.
INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR
WEAR
E142546
When the tread is worn down to
2/32 inch (1.6 mm), tires must be
replaced to help prevent your
vehicle from skidding and
hydroplaning. Built-in treadwear
indicators, or wear bars, which
look like narrow strips of smooth
rubber across the tread will
appear on the tire when the tread
is worn down to 2/32 inch (1.6
mm).

Tire Care
When the tire tread wears down
to the same height as these wear
bars, the tire is worn out and must
be replaced.
The tires should also be balanced
periodically. An unbalanced tire
and wheel assembly may result in
irregular tire wear.
Periodically inspect the tire treads
for uneven or excessive wear and
remove objects such as stones,
nails or glass that may be wedged
in the tread grooves.
INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR
DAMAGE
WARNING: Do not scrub
the sidewalls of the tires when
you are parking.
Inspect the tire sidewalls for
cracking, cuts, bruises and other
signs of damage or excessive
wear. If internal damage to the tire
is suspected, have the tire
dismounted and inspected in case
it needs to be repaired or replaced.
For your safety, tires that are
damaged or show signs of
excessive wear should not be used
because they are more likely to
blow out or fail.
