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.
