Tires
A manually operated tire pump should be used rather than the high
pressure system found in service stations. This will minimize the
possibility of tire damage from overinflation. If you use a high
pressure system at a service station, add air in small amounts and
check the pressure increase frequently to prevent possible tire
damage from overinflation.
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 115.
Whenever you check the tire pressures, you should also look for:
• Bumps or bulges in the side of the tire or the tread. Replace any
tire that has a bump or bulge.
• Cuts, slits, or cracks in the tires. Replace the tire if you can see
fabric or cord.
• Nails or other foreign objects embedded in the side of the tire or
tread.
• Excessive tread wear.
