The ridge has a height of 1.6 mm. When tread wear reaches this point, the ridges become visible. The appearance of the wear indicators signals the need
for tire replacement.

Note
The assumption that tires are more wear resistant after aging is not valid.
VR rated tires should not be used if older than 6 years.
Age can be determined by the last three digits of the DOT code on the tire sidewall.
For example:
If the last three digits are 193, the tire was manufactured in the 19th week of 1983.
