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

2/32

inch

(1.6

mm) or less

of tread remaining.

You need a new tire if:

You can see the indicators at three

You can see cord or fabric showing

The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut

places around the tire.

through the tire’s rubber.

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.

Buying New Tires

To find out what kind and size of tires

you need, look at the Tire-Loading

Information label. The tires installed on

your vehicle when it was new had a Tire

Performance Criteria Specification

(TPC Spec) number on each tire’s

sidewall. When you get new tires, get

ones with that same TPC Spec number.

That way, your vehicle will continue to

have tires that are designed to give

proper endurance, handling, speed

rating, traction, ride and other things

during normal service on your vehicle.

If your tires have an all-season tread

design, the TPC number will be

followed by a

“MS”

(for mud and

snow).

If you ever replace your tires with those

not having a TPC Spec number, make

sure they are the same size, load range,

speed rating and construction type

(bias, bias-belted or radial) as your

original tires.

I

CAUTION

I

Mixing tires could cause you

to lose control while driving.

If you mix tires of different sizes or

types (radial and bias-belted tires)

,

the vehicle may not handle

properly, and you could have a

crash. Be sure to use the same size

and type tires on all wheels. It’s all

right to drive with your compact

spare, though. It was developed for

limited use

on

your vehicle.
