Warning!

Do not allow your tires to wear down too
far. Adhesion properties on wet roads are
sharply reduced at tread depths of less
Although the applicable federal motor safety
laws consider a tire to be worn when the
treadwear indicators(TWI) become visible at
approximately 1/16 in (1.6 mm), we recom-
mend that you do not allow your tires to
wear down to that level. As tread depth
approaches 1/8 in (3 mm), the adhesion

Treadwear indicators (TWI) are required by
law. These indicators are located in six
places on the tread circumference and
become visible at a tread depth of approx-
imately

properties on a wet road are sharply

tire is considered worn and should be
replaced.
The treadwear indicator appears as a solid
band across the tread.
Depending upon the weather and/or road
surface (conditions), the tire traction varies
widely.

Keep unmounted tires in a cool, dry place
Winter tires

with as little exposure to light as possible.
Protect tires from contact with oil, grease and
gasoline.
Cleaning tires
!
Never use a round nozzle to power wash
tires. The intense jet of water can result in
damage to the tire.
