Tire Rotation; When It Is Time For New Tires - Chevrolet 2007 Corvette Owner's Manual

Tire Rotation

The tires on your vehicle are different sizes front
to rear. Due to this, your tires should not be
rotated. Each tire and wheel should be used
only in the position it is in.

When It Is Time for New Tires

One way to tell when
it is time for new
tires is to check the
treadwear indicators,
which will appear when
your tires have only
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or
less of tread remaining.
You need a new tire if any of the following
statements are true:
•
You can see the indicators at three or more
places around the tire.
•
You can see cord or fabric showing through
the tire's rubber.
•
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or
snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric.
•
The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
•
The tire has a puncture, cut or other damage
that cannot be repaired well because of the
size or location of the damage.
