These pressures are also given on
the tire information label on the
driver's doorjamb.
Tubeless tires have some ability to
self-seal if they are punctured.
However, because leakage is often
very slow, you should look
closely for punctures if a tire
starts losing pressure.
Inspection
Every time you check inflation,
you should also examine the tires
for damage, foreign objects, and
wear.
You should look for:
Bumps or bulges in the tread or
side of the tire. Replace the tire
if you find either of these
conditions.
Cuts, splits, or cracks in the
side of the tire. Replace the tire
if you can see fabric.
Excessive tread wear.
Your vehicle's tires have wear
indicators molded into the tread.
When the tread wears down to that
point, you will see a 1/2 inch (12.7
mm) wide band running across the
tread. This shows that there is less
than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread
left on the tire. A tire that is this
worn gives very little traction on
wet roads. You should replace the
tire if you can see the tread wear
