MAINTENANCE
Wheels and Tires
Operating the vehicle with worn tires, improper tires or tires with improper or uneven tire pressure could
cause loss of control or accident. Always use the correct size and type of tires specified for your
vehicle. Always maintain proper tire pressure as recommended in the owner's manual and on safety
labels. Always replace tires when tread depth has worn to the minimum requirement.
Tire Condition
Inspect the tire sidewalls, road contact surface
and tread base. If inspection reveals cuts,
punctures, cracks or other wear or damage,
replace the tire before driving the vehicle. See
the SLINGSHOT Service Manual or an
authorized dealer.
Tire Tread Depth
Measure the tread depth near the center of the
tread on both tires.
• Replace a front tire when tread depth wears
to the minimum of 1.6 mm.
• Replace the rear tire when tread depth wears
to the minimum of 4 mm.
Tire Pressure
For an accurate reading, check tire pressure
when tires are cold. Driving warms the tires
and increases tire air pressure.
1. Remove the valve stem cap.
2. Adjust tire pressure to the recommended
specification. Refer to safety labels on the
vehicle or to the specifications section
beginning on page 84.
WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum
recommended inflation pressure to seat the bead.
Tire or rim failure may result.
