Tires

The compact spare tire pressure is:

60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm

2

)

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 or cord.

Excessive tread wear.

Your car'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 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 indicator in three or more
places around the tire.

Maintenance

In addition to proper inflation,

correct wheel alignment helps to
decrease tire wear. If you find a tire
is worn unevenly, have your dealer
check the wheel alignment.
