Tire Wear Indicators

Tire wear indicators are small raised bars located within the grooves of a tire's tread. They serve as built-in indicators to show when your tire has worn down enough to need replacement. When the tread level reaches the height of these bars, it signals that the tire's tread is too low, reducing grip and safety. Monitoring these indicators helps ensure you replace tires before they become unsafe or less effective, especially in wet conditions. Regularly checking tire wear indicators is a simple way to maintain vehicle safety and optimal performance.
