sion alignment.

Tread wear indicators are built into the origi-
nal equipment tires on your vehicle to help
you know when your tires should be replaced.
Many states have laws requiring that you
replace your tires at this point.
These indicators are molded into the bottom
of the tread grooves and will appear when the
tire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch
(1.6 mm).
When the bands appear next to one another in
two or more places, replace your tires.

Because the front and rear tires and wheels
are not the same size, do not rotate the front
and rear tires.

In some areas of the country, snow tires are
required for winter driving. If snow tires are
required in your area, you must choose snow
tires of the same size and type as the original
tires provided with your vehicle. Snow tires
should also be installed on all four wheels.
Otherwise your safety and vehicle handling
can be reduced.
Even where laws may permit it, snow tires
should not be operated at sustained speeds
over 75 mph (120 km/h).
Only Mitsubishi Motors genuine wheels
should be used, because your vehicle is
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks
and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tire pressure sensor properly.
