Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle's wheels above
30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds continuously without stopping
.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck Vehicle” in “What To Do In Emergencies” for further
information
.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous
.
Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause tire damage or failure
.
A tire could explode and injure someone
.
Do not spin
your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 30 seconds continu-
ously when you are stuck, and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what
the speed
.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when
your tires should be replaced
.
These indicators are molded into the bot-
tom of the tread grooves
. They will appear
as bands when the tread depth becomes a
1/16 of an inch (1
.
6 mm)
.
When the tread
is worn to the tread wear indicators, the
tire should be replaced
. Refer to “Replace-
ment Tires” in this section for further
information
.
Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including, but not limited to:
• Driving style .
• Tire pressure – Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause uneven wear patterns
to develop across the tire tread
.
These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread life,
resulting in the need for earlier tire replacement
.
• Distance driven .
• Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of V or higher, and Summer tires typically
have a reduced tread life
.
Rotation of these tires per the vehicle maintenance schedule
is highly recommended
