Tire Friction
When tire tread wears too severely and the tire cannot be used, the tire becomes more susceptible to
punctures and failures� An accepted estimate is that 90% of all tire failures occur during the last 10% of
tire service life, so it is unsafe to continue to use bald tires� In accordance with the Periodic Maintenance
Chart, measure the depth of the tread with a depth gauge, and replace any tire that has been worn down
to the minimum allowable tread depth�
Visually inspect the tire tread for cracks and cuts, and replace it with a new tire if it is severely damaged�
For example, if partial expansion appears on the tire, it means the tire is broken�
Remove any embedded stones or other foreign particles form the tread�
When the environment temperature is below 14°F (-10°C), it is recommended to place the vehicle indoors
if required to be stored for a long time�
Do not use side stand to park the vehicle for long time in winter� Use the center stand (if equipped) or
rear-wheel stand to park the vehicle, to let the tires be free of the wheel weight�
Do not allow the tires to sink into snow or ice for a long time when parking the vehicle in winter�
When parking the vehicle for a long time outside in winter, it is recommended to put objects that can
preserve the heat such as branches, paper or sand under the tires�
