TIRE TREAD WEAR

B. Minimum tread depth, replace tire
It is normal to see uneven wear on tires
depending on how the vehicle is driven
and road conditions. The front tires
external or internal edges and the rear
tire center tread will wear unevenly
depending on if the vehicle is driven
smoothly or aggressively.
WARNING
The tires are designed to rotate
only in one direction. Do not
switch the left and right front
wheels. If a tire is mounted on the
incorrect side, you will have less
traction and could lose control.
WARNING
Do not hold the front wheel spoke
while attempting to spin the fro
nt
wheel as your fingers may be
caught between the wheel and the
brake caliper.
