There are many tire options available with varying tire
pressures. Refer to the side wall of your tire for information
regarding the tire pressure for your tires.
The illustration to the right is an example of the side wall
information on a tire.
Tire pressures must be checked when the tire is cold.
TIRE INSPECTION
6. Check the tire pressure. Refer to Tire Inflation
section for information on checking the tire pressure.
7. Inspect the tire tread depth. Minimum
recommended tread depth is 1/16-inch. There are
a series of tread depth wear indicators around the
circumference of the tire. They will appear as 1/2-
inch bands across the tread as the tire approaches
its wear limit (see illustration to the right). Replace
the tire if any tread depth indicator can be seen or
any part of the tread depth is 1/16-inch or less. Refer
to
Replace the Tire section for information
regarding replacing the tire.
