Uneven
Wear
At least once a month, inspect your tires
closely for signs of uneven wear. Uneven wear
patterns may be caused by improper inflation pressures,
misalignment, improper balance, or suspension
neglect. If not corrected, further tire damage
will occur. If you discover uneven wear, bring
your car to your nearest Toyo dealer. In many
instances, the dealer can correct the problem
so you can continue to use your tires.
Excesive Wear
When the tread is worn down to one-sixteenth
of an inch, the tire is worn out and it is time
to replace it. Built-in tread wear indicators,
or "wear bars," which look like narrow strips
of smooth rubber across the tread, will appear
on the tire when that point of wear is reached.
Look for any stones, bits of glass, metal, or
other foreign objects in the tread or sidewall.
These may work deeper into the tire and cause
air loss. If any tire continually needs more air,
have your Toyo dealer check to find out why it
is leaking. Damage to the tire, wheel, or valve
may be the problem.
