Wear Indicators
The groove where the wear indicator is
located is 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) shallower than
elsewhere on the tyre. If the tread has worn so
that the indicator is exposed, replace the tyre.
Worn out tyres have poor traction on wet
roads.
Tyre Service Life
The life of your tyres is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tyres are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tyres reach five
years old. All tyres, including the spare
*
, should be removed from service after 10
years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.

High speed driving
We recommend that you do not drive faster than the
posted speed limits and conditions allow. If you drive
at sustained high speeds (over 220 km/h or 112
mph), adjust the cold tyre pressures as shown below
to avoid excessive heat build up and sudden tyre
failure.
