Tire replacement
ORS091057 ORS091057
[A]: Tread wear indicator
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is less
than 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) of tread left on the
tire. Replace the tire when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear across
the entire tread before replacing the tire.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY:
• Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of braking
effectiveness, steering control, and
traction.
• Always replace tires with the same
size as each tire that was originally
supplied with this vehicle. Using
tires and wheels other than the
recommended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteristics,
poor vehicle control, or negatively
affect your vehicle’s Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.
•
When replacing tires (or wheels), it
is recommended to replace the two
front or two rear tires (or wheels)
as a pair. Replacing just one tire
can seriously affect your vehicle’s
handling.
• Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regardless
of the remaining tread, Genesis
Branded Vehicle recommends that
tires be replaced after six (6) years of
normal service.
• Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high loading conditions can
accelerate the aging process. Failure
to follow this warning may cause
sudden tire failure, which could lead
to a loss of vehicle control resulting
in an accident.
Compact spare tire (if equipped)
replacement
A compact spare tire has a shorter
tread life than a regular size tire.
Replace it when you can see the tread
wear indicator bars on the tire. The
replacement compact spare tire should
be the same size and design tire as the
one provided with your new vehicle
and should be mounted on the same
compact spare tire wheel. The compact
spare tire is not designed to be mounted
on a regular size wheel, and the compact
spare tire wheel is not designed for
mounting a regular size tire.
