In general, tires should be replaced after
six years regardless of tread wear.
However, heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high loading conditions can
accelerate the aging process and may
require tires to be replaced more
frequently.
You should replace your spare tire when
you replace the road tires or after six years
due to aging even if it has not been used.
Risks on the Road
No matter how carefully you drive, there is
always the possibility that you may have
a flat tire on the road. Drive slowly to the
closest safe area, away from traffic. This
may further damage the deflated tire, but
your safety is more important.
If you feel a vibration or ride disturbance
while driving, or suspect your tire or vehicle
is damaged, reduce speed immediately.
Drive with caution until you can get off the
road safely. Stop and check for damage
to the tires. If a tire is damaged or deflated,
remove the wheel and replace it with the
spare wheel.
Alignment
A bad jolt from hitting the edge of the
sidewalk or a pothole can cause the front
tires to become misaligned or damaged.
If your vehicle seems to pull to one side
while driving, the wheels may have lost
alignment. Have an authorized dealer
periodically check the wheel alignment.
Misalignment of the front or rear wheels
can cause uneven or rapid tire wear and
must be corrected by an authorized
dealer. The driving wheels and vehicles
with an independent rear suspension may
require alignment of the four wheels.
An unbalanced tire and wheel assembly
may result in uneven tire wear.
