Cuts and punctures in radial tires are repairable only in the
tread area because of sidewall flexing. Consult your authorized
dealer for radial tire repairs.
10.2.4 Tread Wear Indicators (TWI)
Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread
grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes
1/16 inch (2 mm). When the indicators appear in two or more
adjacent grooves, the tire should be replaced.
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. This can cause tire
deterioration and lead to loss of steering or braking control.
10.2.5 Life of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon various factors including
but not limited to;
•
Driving style
•
Tire pressure
•
Distance driven
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years,
regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning
can result in sudden and unexpected tire failure, leading to an
accident and/or personal injury.
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little
exposure to light as possible. Protect tires from contact with oil,
grease and fuels.
Do not use a tire, wheel size or speed rating other than that
specified for your vehicle on the tire placard. Combinations of
unapproved
tires
and
wheels
may
change
suspension
geometric and performance
characteristics, resulting in
changes to steering, handling and braking of your vehicle. This
can cause unpredictable handling, stress to steering and
suspension components. You could lose control of the vehicle
or the tire can unexpectedly fail, resulting in an accident and/or
personal injury.
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result
in false speedometer and odometer readings.
