Wear indicators

Tread wear indicator

Each tire incorporates a tread wear

indicator, which becomes visible when

the depth of the tread grooves decreases

to 0.063 in (1.6 mm). A tire must be

replaced when the tread wear indicator

appears as a solid band across the tread.

When a tire s tread wear indicator

becomes visible, the tire is worn

beyond the acceptable limit and

must be replaced immediately. With

a tire in this condition, driving at

high speeds in wet weather can

cause the vehicle to hydroplane.

The resulting loss of vehicle control

can lead to an accident.

For safety, inspect the tire tread reg-

ularly and replace the tires before their

tread wear indicators become visible.

Example of tire rotation direction mark

If the tire has a rotation direction specifica-

tion, the tire rotation direction mark is

placed on its sidewall.

When you install a tire that has the tire

rotation direction mark, install the tire with

the direction mark facing forward.
