Life of tire
The service life of a tire depends on varying 
factors including but not limited to:
 Driving style
 Tire inflation pressure
 Distance driven
Tread depth
Do not allow your tires to wear down too 
far. Adhesion properties on wet roads are 
sharply reduced at tread depths under 
1
/
8
in (3 mm) for summer tires and 
1
/
6
in 
(4 mm) for winter tires.
Treadwear indicators (TWI) are required by 
law. These indicators are located in six 
places on the tread circumference and be-
come visible at a tread depth of approxi-
mately 
1
/
16
in (1.6 mm), at which point 
the tire is considered worn and should be 
replaced.
Recommended minimum tire tread depth:
 Summer tires 
1
/
8
in (3 mm)
 Winter tires 
1
/
6
in (4 mm)
You could lose control of the vehicle as a re-
sult, cause an accident and injure yourself 
or others.
Avoid driving up against curbs or parking the 
vehicle with part of the tire tread surface on 
the curb.
Warning
G
Tires and spare tire should be replaced after 
6 years, regardless of the remaining tread.
Warning
G
Although the applicable federal motor safety 
laws consider a tire to be worn when the 
Treadwear Indicators (TWI) become visible 
at approximately 
1
/
16
in (1.6 mm), we rec-
ommend that you do not allow your tires to 
wear down to that level. As tread depth ap-
proaches 
1
/
8
in (3 mm) for summer tires or 
1
/
6
in (4 mm) for winter tires, the adhesion 
properties on a wet road are sharply re-
duced.
Depending upon the weather and/or road 
surface (conditions), the tire traction varies 
widely.
