Tires: Testing and Inspection
Tread Wear Indicators

TREAD WEAR INDICATORS

Fig. 29 Tread Wear Indicators

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 (Fig. 29).

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