Hazards
Objects in the road that could damage your tires should be safely
av
oided. These objects include: potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood
debris and the like. Unavoidable contact should prompt a thorough
tire inspection.
Air Pressure
Air pressure maintenance is critical to tire service life. Tire pressures
mu
st be checked frequently when tires are cold (before operation, cool
to the touch) and no less than once per month and before extended
operation. Use a tire gauge to check pressure and maintain it per the
vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations (on vehicle placard or in
Owner’s Manual). Do not reduce pressure when tire is hot and do not
inflate a cold tire higher than limits molded on the tire’s sidewall. Do
not overlook spare tire inflation pressure.
Tire Tread
Tires must be replaced when the depth of the tread reaches 2/32 inch
(1
.6 mm). YOKOHAMA tires are manufactured with tread wear
in
dicators molded into the tire grooves which indicate tread wearout.
As tires wear down to 2/32 inch (1.6 mm), and tread depth is reduced,
ti
re traction is reduced during rainfall and winter road conditions.
Visual tire inspection therefore becomes more crucial as the tires wear
out.
Hard Braking
You must inspect your tires after any hard braking situations or after
ti
res have slid on the pavement. This can cause a flat spot or other
damage to the tread of the tire.
Spinning
• Do not allow tires to spin at speeds greater than 35
mph if vehicle
be
comes stuck.
• Do not stand behind a spinning tire while attempting to push a
v
ehicle. Speed and force can cause a tire to disintegrate and explode
and may cause property damage and/or personal injury.
