Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice condi-
tions, do not spin your vehicle’s wheels above
30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck Vehicle” in “What To
Do In Emergencies” for further information.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces
generated
by
excessive
wheel
speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A
tire could explode and injure someone. Do
not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than
30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 30 seconds
continuously when you are stuck, and do not
let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter
what the speed.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original equip-
ment tires to help you in determining when your
tires should be replaced.
These indicators are molded into the bottom of
the tread grooves. They will appear as bands
when the tread depth becomes 1/16” (2 mm).
When the tread is worn to the tread wear
indicators, the tire should be replaced. Refer to
“Replacement Tires” in this section for further
information.
Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon
varying factors including, but not limited to:
•
Driving style
•
Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation
pressures can cause uneven wear patterns
to develop across the tire tread. These ab-
normal wear patterns will reduce tread life,
resulting
in
the
need
for
earlier
tire
replacement.
•
Distance driven
•
Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of
V or higher, and summer tires typically have
a reduced tread life. Rotation of these tires
per the vehicle’s Service and Warranty Hand-
book is highly recommended.
WARNING!
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 tire failure. You could lose
control and have a collision resulting in seri-
ous injury or death.
