New Bohemia, VA | I thought it was when the little wires start to show... 
about every other tread there is the wear bars though, if you want to go by that. |

LaPorte,Tx. | The Dunlop E3 tires has a small Dunlop emblem molded into the tread of the tire at the outer edge of the tread. This emblem will tell you where the closest tread wear indicator is located. Also while your checking that, take a look into the bottom of the tread grove to see if there are any stress cracks. These will show up at the bottom at the edges of the tread groove. They are caused by over load and or under inflation, if they are present it is recommended to change the tire. Keeping good rubber between you and the road is very important. |
