Replacing a Tire

If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will 
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.

You should replace it before the band is 
across the entire tread.

Temporary Spare Tire

Inspect the temporary spare tire at least 
monthly to make sure it

s properly 

inflated and stored.
The temporary spare tire is easier to 
handle because of its construction. It is 
lighter and smaller than a conventional 
tire and should be used only for an 
emergency and only for a short distance.

Use the temporary only until the 
conventional tire is repaired, which should 
be as soon as possible.

Maintain its pressure at 420 kPa (4.2 kgf/
cm

2

or bar, 60 psi).

Worn Tires:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and 
traction could result in an accident.
Always use tires that are in good 
condition.

WARNING

The temporary spare tire has a tread 
life of up to 5,000 km (3,000 miles), 
depending on road conditions and 
driving habits.

The temporary spare tire is for 
limited use, however, if the tread

replace the tire with the same type 
of temporary spare (page 8-30).
