sion alignment.

Tread wear indicators are built into the origi-nal equipment tires on your vehicle to helpyou know when your tires should be replaced. Many states have la
ws requiring that you
replace your tires at this point.These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves and will appear when the tire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch(1.6 mm). When the bands appear next to one another in two or more places,
replace your tires.

Because the front and
rear tires and wheels
are not the same size, do not rotate the front and rear tires.
N00940000359
In some areas of the country, snow tires arerequired for winter driving. If snow tires arerequired in your area, you must choose snow tires of the same size
and type as the original
tires provided with your
vehicle. Snow tires
should also be
installed on all four wheels.
Otherwise your safety
and vehicle handling
can be reduced.Even where laws may permit it, snow tires should not be operated
at sustained speeds
over 75 mph (120 km/h).
 Only Mitsubishi Motors genuine wheels should be used, beca
use your vehicle is
equipped with a tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem. Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sensor damage, as it
will not be possible
to install the tire pressure sensor properly.
