Wheel alignment and tyre balance
Tread wear indicator
WARNING - Replacing
tyres
To reduce the chance or serious
or fatal injuries from an acci-
dent caused by tyre failure or
loss of vehicle control:
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tyre
life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tyre
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
• Replace tyres that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are
damaged. Worn tyres can
cause loss of braking effec-
tiveness, steering control, and
traction.

If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
Tyre replacement
• Do not drive your vehicle with
too little or too much pressure
in your tyres. This can lead to
uneven wear and tyre failure.
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread
wear indicator will appear as a solid
band across the tread. This shows
there is less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm)
of tread left on the tyre. Replace the
tyre when this happens.
CAUTION
• When replacing tyres, never
mix radial and bias-ply tyres
on the same car. You must
replace all tyres (including the
spare) if moving from radial to
bias-ply tyres.
Improper wheel weights can
damage your vehicle's alumini-
um wheels. Use only approved
wheel weights.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tyre.
