7-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
COASTER_GW-E
Your tires are equipped with a
special clip and plate washer
designed to retain the inflation
valve stem.
When replacing a tire, be sure to
move the clip and washer to the
new tire.
The spare tire originally installed
has the same clip and washer in
case it replaces a flat tire.
■ When to replace your vehicle's tires
Tires should be replaced if:
● The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.
● You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose
the fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage
● A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer.
■ Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if it
has seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.
■ If the tread on snow tires wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.
