CAUTION:

Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which

it is fastened, can make wheel studs become loose

after a time. The wheel could come off and cause

an accident. When you change a wheel, remove

any rust or dirt from places where the wheel

attaches to the vehicle. In an emergency, you

can use a cloth or a paper towel to do this;

but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush later,

if you need to, to get all the rust or dirt off.

(See “Changing a Flat Tire” in the Index.)

When It’s Time for New Tires

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.
