Tires: Testing and Inspection
Tire Inspection
1) Check tires for uneven or excessive wear, or damage. If defective, replace tire.
Refer to Tire Inspection Tire Inspection
for details.
2) Check inflation pressure of each tire and adjust pressure to specification if necessary.
NOTE:
- Tire inflation pressure should be checked when tires are cool.
- The tire inflation pressure will change due to changes in atmospheric pressure, temperature or tire temperature when driving. To reduce the chance of false illumination of the low tire pressure warning light due to normal changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure, it is important to check and adjust the tire pressures when the tires are cold. If the tire pressure is adjusted in a place warmer than the outside, add 1 psi to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure for every 5.6 °C (10 °F) outside temperature.
- Specified tire inflation pressure is indicated on the tire placard.
3) Rotate tires. For details, refer to Tire Rotation Tire Rotation.
