The temporary spare tire has a tread life

of less than 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The

tread life may be shorter depending on

driving conditions.

¾

The temporary spare tire is for limited

use, however, if the tread wear

solid-band indicator appears, replace the

tire with the same type of temporary

spare (page 6-33).

NOTE

Tires degrade over time, even when they
are not being used on the road. It is
recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or older.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accelerate the
aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road
tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured
(both week and year) is indicated by a
4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-23.
