Tyre wear indicators
Tyres fitted as original equipment have wear indicators
moulded into the tread pattern at several points around the
circumference. When the tread has worn down to 1.6 mm,
the indicators will come to the surface of the tread pattern,
producing the effect of a continuous band of rubber across the
width of the tyre.
Care point: If tyre wear is uneven
(on one side of the tyre only) or
becomes abnormally excessive,
the wheel alignment should be
checked by your dealer.
The indicators provide warning that there is insufficient tread
remaining to provide good traction, particularly on wet roads,
and that the tyres no longer comply with legislation requiring
a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm.
For safety, a tyre MUST be replaced as soon as a wear
indicator becomes visible.
