When
It’s
Time
for
New Tires
One way to tell when it’s
time for new tires
is
to
check the treadwear
indicators, which will
appear when your tires have
only
1/16
inch (1.6 mm) or
less of tread remaining.
You need a new tire if any
of
the following statements
are
true:
0

0
0
0
You can see the indicators at three or more places
around the tire.
You can see cord or fabric showing through the
tire’s rubber.
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep
enough to show cord or fabric.
The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
The tire has a puncture, cut or other damage that
can’t be repaired well because of the size or location
of the damage.
