For Example Only
33 psi (230 kPa)Gauge reading of

sure is
The hot tire pressure is only 1 psi (10
kPa) greater than the recommended
cold inflation pressure. Therefore, add
3 psi (20 kPa) more to increase the hot
pressure to 4 psi (30 kPa) over the
recommended cold inflation pressure.

INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR WEAR
When the tread is worn down to 2/32
inch (1.6 mm), tires must be replaced to
help prevent your vehicle from skidding
and hydroplaning. Built-in treadwear
indicators, or wear bars, which look like
narrow strips of smooth rubber across
the tread will appear on the tire when
the tread is worn down to 2/32 inch (1.6
mm).
When the tire tread wears down to the
same height as these wear bars, the tire
is worn out and must be replaced.
The tires should also be balanced
periodically. An unbalanced tire and
wheel assembly may result in irregular
tire wear.
Periodically inspect the tire treads for
uneven or excessive wear and remove
objects such as stones, nails or glass
that may be wedged in the tread
grooves.
INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR
DAMAGE
Inspect the tire sidewalls for cracking,
cuts, bruises and other signs of damage
or excessive wear. If internal damage to
the tire is suspected, have the tire
dismounted and inspected in case it
needs to be repaired or replaced. For
your safety, tires that are damaged or
show signs of excessive wear should
not be used because they are more
likely to blow out or fail.
