ty of losing traction, slow down when the road gets slippery,
replace tires when wear indicators are visible, and KEEP TIRES
PROPERLY INFLATED.
Tire Replacement
The original tires on your car
have tread wear indicators to
indicate when they should be
replaced. The indicators appear
as bands about 12.7 mm (1/2
in) wide when the tire tread
depth is less than

pear
across
