Wear Indicators
The groove where the wear indicator is
located is 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than
elsewhere on the tire. If the tread has worn so
that the indicator is exposed, replace the tire.
Worn out tires have poor traction on wet
roads.
Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach five
years old. All tires, including the spare
* , should be removed from service after 10
years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.
1 Checking Tires
High speed driving
We recommend that you do not drive faster than the
posted speed limits and conditions allow. If you drive
at sustained high speeds (models with P245/45R18
96V tires: over 112 mph or 180 km/h, models with
245/40R19 98W tires: over 118 mph or 190 km/h),
adjust the cold tire pressures as shown below to
avoid excessive heat build up and sudden tire failure.
Tire Size P245/45R18 96V
Pressure Front: 35 psi (240 kPa, 2.4 kgf/cm 2 )
Rear: 33 psi (230 kPa, 2.3 kgf/cm 2 )
Tire Size 245/40R19 98W
Pressure Front: 38 psi (260 kPa, 2.7 kgf/cm 2 )
Rear: 36 psi (250 kPa, 2.5 kgf/cm 2 )
