2.
Visually inspect the passenger side tires along the tread area on the side of the tire for a cut or slice. See Figure 1. Scuffs in the tread and/or
sidewall area are acceptable and should not be a cause for concern.
3.
If the vehicle has more than 8,000 km (5,000 miles), inspect all four (4) road tires (do not inspect spare).
4.
Move the vehicle forward 62 cm (2 feet) so that the tire is rotated one-half revolution.
5.
Inspect the tires again.
6.
If any tire is found cut or sliced (which must be replaced), refer to the following Special Note before you begin to replace any tires.
SPECIAL NOTE:
If one or two tires are to be replaced, the tread depth of the non-replaced tires must be checked. This must be done to determine if additional tires
must be replaced.
TIRE DISPOSAL
Tires that are removed from the vehicle must immediately be made unusable by either cutting the bead with bolt cutters or drilling a one-inch diameter
hole in the sidewall. Dispose of damaged tires using your normal tire disposal method.
