When
It’s
Time for
New
Tires
One way tp 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 or more places
around the tire.
YOU can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s
.
rubber.
0
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep
enough to show cord or fabric.
The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
0
The tire has
a
puncture, cut, or other darhage 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.
