TIRE TREAD WEAR
1. Tread-wear limit indicator
A. Appropriate tread depth
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.
Tire Rotation (Front)
Rotate front tires when tread depth
reaches 4 mm (5/32 in). This will maxi-
mize tire life.
WARNING
The tires a re designed to rotate
only in one direction. Do not
switch the left and right front
wheels . The tires m ust be dis-
mounted from the wheels for tire
rotation. If a tire is mounted on the
incorrect side, you will have less
traction and could lose control.
CAUTION Do not hold the front
wheel spoke while attempting to
spin the front wheel as your fingers
may be caught between the wheel
and the brake caliper.
