Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment tires

to help you in determining when your tires should be

replaced.

These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread

grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth

becomes 1/16 in (2 mm). When the tread is worn to the

tread wear indicators, the tire should be replaced.
