bumps, bulges, cuts, cracks or splits in
the tread or side of the tire
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the
tire tread is badly worn, or if the tires have
sustained damage, replace them.
Replace the tire if you find any of the above
conditions.
Tires and spare tire should be replaced after
six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
Regularly check your tire inflation pressure
at least once a month. For more informa-
tion on checking tire inflation pressure see
“Recommended tire inflation pressure”
Make sure you also inspect the spare tire
periodically for condition and inflation.
Spare tires will age and become worn over
time even if never used, and thus should be
inspected and replaced when necessary.
