Tires
Tubeless tires have some ability to
self-seal if they are punctured. How-
ever, because leakage is often very
slow, you should look closely for
punctures if a tire starts losing
pressure.
Inspection
At least every 2,000 miles, you should
also examine the tires for damage,
foreign objects, and wear.
You should look for:
Bumps or bulges in the tread or
side of the tire. Replace the tire if
you find either of these conditions.
Cuts, splits, or cracks in the side of
the tire. Replace the tire if you can
see fabric or tread.
Excessive tread wear.

MARKS
Your car's tires have wear indicators
molded into the tread. When the
tread wears down to that point, you
will see a 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) wide
band running across the tread. This
shows there is less than 1.6 mm
(1/16 inch) of tread left on the tire. A
tire that is this worn gives very little
traction on wet roads. You should
replace the tire if you can see the
tread wear indicator in three or more
places around the tire.
Maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease
tire wear. If you find a tire is worn
unevenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignment.
The tires were properly balanced by
the factory, They may need to be
rebalanced at some time before they
are worn out. Have your dealer check
the tires if you feel a consistent
vibration while driving. A tire should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel for repair.
Make sure the installer balances the
wheels when you have new tires
installed. This increases riding
comfort and tire life. Your car's
original tires were dynamic or "spin"
balanced at the factory. For best
results, have the installer perform a
dynamic balance.
