Simple inspection and service
2 Checking tread depth
Make sure that the remaining tread depth is suffi-
cient.
When the tread wears down, slip signs (inter-
rupted sections of the grooves) appear across the
tire at the locations corresponding to the
marks.
Replace the tire as soon as the slip signs show up
as continued use is dangerous.
3 Checking for cracks, damage, and
objects embedded in tread
Check both the tread and the sides of each tire for
cracks, damage, and excessive or unusual wear.
Check also for metal pieces, nails, and stones that
might be embedded in the tread or caught between
the tires of dual wheels.
Tread groove depth
limit
1.6 mm
WARNING
If the remaining tread is too shallow, the tires
tend to skid and chances of “hydroplaning”
during high speed driving increase. Hydro-
planing can occur when driving on a wet
roads at high speeds. When a vehicle hydro-
planes, tires ride up on and slide over a film
of water, causing the driver to lose control of
both steering and braking.
