Mahidra TUV 300 Owner's Manual page 177

After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, always reinstall
the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and
dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the
stem, resulting in an unexpected loss of tire pressure, an
accident and/or personal injury.
12.4.3 Radial Ply Tires
Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your
vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly, resulting in an
accident and/or personal injury. Always use radial tires in sets
of four. Never combine them with other types of tires.
Cuts and punctures in radial tires are repairable only in the
tread area because of sidewall flexing. Consult your authorized
dealer for radial tire repairs.
12.4.4 Tread Wear Indicators (TWI)
Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread
grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes
1/16 inch (2 mm). When the indicators appear in two or more
adjacent grooves, the tire should be replaced.

Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. This can cause tire
deterioration and lead to loss of steering or braking control.
12.4.5 Life of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon various factors including
but not limited to;
• Driving style
• Tire pressure
• Distance driven
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years,
regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning
can result in sudden and unexpected tire failure, leading to an
accident and/or personal injury.
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little
exposure to light as possible. Protect tires from contact with oil,
grease and fuels.
