Tyres
You should use your own tyre
pressure gauge and use it whenever
you check your tyre pressures. This
will make it easier for you to tell if a
pressure loss is due to a tyre
problem and not due to a variation
between gauges.
Inspection
TREAD WEAR INDICATOR
Every time you check inflation, you
should also examine the tyres for
damage, foreign objects, and wear.
You should look for:
Bumps or bulges in the tread or
side of the tyre. Replace the tyre if
you find either of these conditions.
Recommended Tyre Pressures
The recommended cold tyre
pressures are given on the tyre
information label on the driver’s
doorjamb.
Cuts, splits, or cracks in the side
of the tyre. Replace the tyre if you
can see fabric or cord.
INDICATOR LOCATION MARKS
Your vehicle’s tyres have wear
Tubeless tyres have some ability to
self-seal if they are punctured.
However, because leakage is often
very slow, you should look closely
for punctures if a tyre starts losing
pressure.
indicators moulded into the tread.
When the tread wears down to that
point, you will see a 12.7 mm (1/2
inch) wide band running across the
tread. This shows there is less than
1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of tread left on
the tyre. A tyre that is this worn
gives very little traction on wet roads.
You should replace the tyre if you
can see the tread wear indicator in
three or more places around the tyre.
Excessive tread wear.
