Measure Tread Depth
B.
If the outer shoulder tread is visible, use a tread depth gauge to determine extent of wear. Measure tread depth at location shown in Figure
No. 2. If tread depth is 5/32" or
less, tire replacement will be necessary. If greater than 5/32", the tires should be rotated using the modified "X" pattern (See Figure No. 1). This method
will best equalize wear after a few thousand miles.
SHOULDER WEAR
General and Uniroyal
A.
If only slight cupping is noticed, and the cross grooves in the tire's outside shoulder are still visible (See Figure No. 3), the tires should be rotated.
The modified "X" pattern should be used (See Figure No. 1). This method will best equalize wear after a few thousand miles.
TIRE REPLACEMENT NECESSARY
B.
If the cupping or wear is severe, and the cross grooves in the outside shoulder are not visible, tire replacement will be necessary (See Figure No.
4).
