Wear Indicators

The groove where the wear indicator is 
located is 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than 
elsewhere on the tire. If the tread has worn so 
that the indicator is exposed, replace the tire. 

Worn out tires have poor traction on wet 
roads.

Tire Service Life

The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road 
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and 
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).

In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is 
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach five 
years old. All tires, including the spare

*

, should be removed from service after 10 

years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.

Checking Tires

High speed driving

We recommend that you do not drive faster than the 
posted speed limits and conditions allow. If you drive 
at sustained high speeds (over 137 mph or 220 
km/h), adjust the cold tire pressures as shown below 
to avoid excessive heat build up and sudden tire 
failure.

This vehicle is equipped with high grip tires.
Due to their focus on dry-grip performance, these 
tires have shallower tread grooves and wear faster 
than ordinary commercial tires.
Periodically check the tread depth.
Drive at a safe speed in the rain and on wet roads.
