1.6. TIRE SAFETY TIPS
Preventing Tire Damage
◊ Slow down if you have to go over a pothole or other object in the road.
◊ Do not run over curbs or other foreign objects in the roadway, and try not to strike the
curb when parking.
Tire Safety Checklist
◊ Check tire pressure regularly (at least once a month), including the spare (if equipped).
◊ Inspect tires for uneven wear patterns on the tread, cracks, foreign objects, or other signs
of wear or trauma.
◊ Remove bits of glass and foreign objects wedged in the tread.
◊ Make sure your tire valves have valve caps.
◊ Check tire pressure before going on a long trip.
◊ Do not overload your trailer. Check the Tire Information and Loading Placard or Owner’s
Manual for the maximum recommended load for the trailer.
