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).

Treadwear indicators (TWI) are required by 
law. These indicators are located in six 
places on the tread circumference and 
become visible at a tread depth of approx-
imately 

1

/

16

in (1.6 mm), at which point 

the tire is considered worn and should be 
replaced.

Recommended minimum tire tread depth:

1 TWI (Tread Wear Indicator)

The treadwear indicator appears as a solid 
band across the tread.

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 recom-

mend that you do not allow your tires

to wear down to that level. As tread depth 

approaches 

1

/

8

in (3 mm), 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.

!

Keep unmounted tires in a cool, dry 
place with as little exposure to light as 
possible. Protect tires from contact 
with oil, grease and gasoline.

!

Never use a round nozzle to power 
wash tires. The intense jet of water can 
result in damage to the tire.

Always replace a damaged tire.
