Tires: Testing and Inspection
Tread Wear Indicators

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TREAD WEAR INDICATORS 

Fig. 2

Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. When tread depth is 1.6 mm (1/16 inch), the tread wear indicators will appear
as a 13 mm (1/2 inch) band .
Tire replacement is necessary when indicators appear in two or more grooves or if localized balding occurs.
