Preventing tire damage
• DO NOT run over curbs or foreign objects in the roadway or when parking.
• Slow way down if you cannot avoid a pothole or other object in the road.
Tire safety checklist
1. Check tire pressure at least monthly, including the spare.
2. Inspect tires for uneven wear patterns on the tread, cracks, foreign objects, or any other damage.
3. Carefully remove bits of glass or foreign objects wedged in the tread.
4. Check that all tire valves have valve caps.
5. Check tire pressure before going on any trip.
6. DO NOT overload your vehicle.
• Check the Tire and Loading Information label.

Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This infor-
mation identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and it also provides a tire identification
number for safety standard certification and in case of a recall.

This begins with the letters “DOT” and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or
letters are the plant code where it was manufactured, and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire
was built. For example, the numbers 3197 means the 31st week of 1997. The other numbers are marketing codes used
at the manufacturer’s discretion. This is the number used to identify a tire in the event of a recall.

To maintain tire safety, purchase new tires that are the same size as the vehicle’s original tires or another size rec-
ommended by the manufacturer. Look at the Tire and Loading Information label, or the sidewall of the tire you are
replacing to find this information. If you have any doubt about the correct size to choose, consult with the tire dealer
