TREAD WEAR INDICATOR
Tread wear indicators are built into the original
equipment tires on your vehicle to help you
know when your tires should be replaced. Many
states have laws requiring that you replace your
tires at this point.
These indicators are molded into the bottom of
the tread grooves and will appear when the tire
tread is worn down to 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).
When the bands appear next to one another in
two or more places, replace your tires.
NOTE:
Tire wear indicators can have different
marks and locations depending on the tire
manufacturer.
TIRE ROTATION
To even out the wear on your tires and
make them last longer, Mitsubishi
Motors Corporation recommends that
you rotate your tires at the mileage
listed in the “WARRANTY AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
However, the timing for tire rotation
may vary according to your vehicle
condition, road surface conditions, and
your own personal driving habits. Any
time you notice unusual wear, rotate
your tires as soon as possible.
When rotating tires, check for uneven
wear, damage, and wheel alignment.
Abnormal wear is usually caused by a
wrong tire pressure, wheels that are not
aligned properly, wheels that are out-
of-balance, or severe braking.
Check with a certified Mitsubishi
dealer to find out the reason for uneven
