One way to tell when it's time for ne^v tires is to check the tires treadwear indicators, which will appear when your tires have only 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread remaining. You need a new tire if: - You can see the indicators at three places around the tire. - You can see the fabric or cord showing through the tire's rubber. - The tread or side wall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to sec the fabric or cord. - 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 location or size of the damage. Buying new tires: Make sure that the new tires are the same size, load rating, speed rating and construction type (bias, bias- belted or radial) as your original tires.
