Always look for bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations and abnormal tire wear, particularly on the edges of the tire tread, which may be caused by misalignment or underinflation. If any such damage is found, the tire must be inspected by a tire retailer at once. Use of a damaged tire could result in tire destruction. All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds as well as hard cornering, rapid starts, sudden stops, frequent driving on roads which are in poor condition, and off road use. Roads with holes and rocks or other objects can damage tires and cause misalignment of your vehicle. When driving on such roads, drive carefully and slowly, and before driving again at normal or highway speeds, examine your tires for any damage, such as cuts, bulges, penetrations, unusual wear patterns, etc. TIRE TREAD WEAR INDICATORS ؆WEAR BARS؆ Most tires contain wear indicators ЉWear BarsЉ in the grooves of the tire tread which show up when only 2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread is remaining. At this stage, your tires must be replaced. Tires worn beyond this stage are extremely dangerous. DO NOT OVERLOAD: DRIVING ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS The maximum load rating of your tires is molded on the tire sidewall. Do not exceed this rating. Follow the loading instructions of the manufacturer of your vehicle and this will ensure that your tires are not overloaded. Tires which are loaded beyond their maximum allowable loads for the particular application will build up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire destruction. Do not exceed the gross axle weight rating for any axle on your vehicle. TRAILER TOWING If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should visit a tire retailer for advice concerning the correct size tire and pressures. Tire size and pressures will depend upon the type and size of trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure or tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and the owner's manual supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle for further recommendations on trailer towing. 33

ing the correct size tire and pressures. Tire size and pressures will depend upon
the type and size of trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case must the maximum
cold inflation pressure or tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire decal and
