The groove where the wear indicator is located is
1/16 inch (1.6
mm) shallower than elsewhere on
the
tire. If the tread has worn so
low that the indicator is exposed, replace the
tire. Worn out
tires have poor traction on wet
roads.

Using
tires that are excessively worn
or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or
killed. Follow all instructions in the owner’s manual regarding
tire inflation and maintenance.
