Subaru Outback (BR): Wear indicators
![1) New tread](images/books/283/7/page.h47.gif)
1) New tread
2) Worn tread
3) Tread wear indicator
Each tire incorporates a tread wear indicator, which becomes visible when the
depth of the tread grooves decreases to 0.063 in (1.6 mm). A tire must be replaced
when the tread wear indicator appears as a solid band across the tread.
WARNING
When a tire’s tread wear indicator becomes visible, the tire is worn beyond the
acceptable limit and must be replaced immediately. With a tire in this condition,
driving at high speeds in wet weather can cause the vehicle to hydroplane. The resulting
loss of vehicle control can lead to an accident.
NOTE
For safety, inspect the tire tread regularly and replace the tires before their
tread wear indicators become visible.
