Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are rotated.

Rotate radial tires that have an
asymmetric tread pattern only
from front to rear and not from
right to left.

Tire replacement

If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch ) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tire.

WARNING

Do not mix bias ply and radial
ply tires under any circum-
stance. This may cause unusual
handling characteristics that
could result in death, severe
injury, or property damage.
