In most countries the legally permissible minimum tread depth is 1/16 in (1.6 mm), as measured in
tread grooves next to the wear indicators. Please be sure to obey country-specific legal requirements.
Winter tires are no longer suitable for winter operation once the tread pattern is worn down to a depth
of 3/16 in (4.8 mm)
The tread depth of new tires can differ between tire models and manufacturers because of the
different design features and tread patterns.
Tread wear indicator (TWI) in the tire
The 1/16 in (1.6 mm) high wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves of the
original tires running across the treads ⇒ fig. 180. Several wear indicators are evenly spaced around
the tire. Markings on the sides of the tires (for example “TWI” or symbols) show the position of the
wear indicators.
Wear indicators show when the tires are worn down. The tires must be replaced no later than when
the tread pattern is worn down to the wear indicators.
WARNING
Worn tires are dangerous and can cause loss of vehicle control including serious personal
injuries.
x Never drive a vehicle when the tread on any tire is worn down to the wear indicators,
replace them sooner.
x Worn tires do not grip the road properly, especially on wet roads, increasing your riskof
“hydroplaning” and loss of control.
x Worn tires reduce the ability of your vehicle to handle well in normal and difficult driving
situations and increase braking distances and the risk of skidding.
Applicable only in Mexico, the AGCC, and South Korea

tread grooves next to the wear indicators. Please be sure to obey country-specific legal requirements.
