Tires: Testing and Inspection
Tread Wear Indicators

TREAD WEAR INDICATORS

Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. When tread depth is 1.6 mm (1/16 in.), the tread wear indicators will appear as a 
13 mm (1/2 in.) band (Figure 1).

Tire replacement is necessary when indicators appear in two or more grooves or if localized balding occurs.
