bulging or deep cuts are found,
the tire(s) should be replaced.
•
The original tires have built-in
tread wear indicators. When
wear indicators are visible, the
tire(s) should be replaced.

Tires degrade with age and use.
Have tires, over 6 years old
checked by a qualified technician,

not be obvious. Replace the tires
as necessary to prevent tire fail-
ure and possible personal injury.
