One way to tell when it's time for new tires is to check the treadwear indicators,
which will appear when your tires have only 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or less
of tread remaining.
You need a new tire if any of the following statements are true:
| • | 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. |
| • | The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show cord
or fabric. |
| • | The tire has a bump, bulge or split. |
| • | The tire has a puncture, cut or other damage that can't be repaired well
because of the size or location of the damage. |
