Buick Encore: Wheels and Tires / Tire Inspection
We recommend that the tires, including
the spare tire, if the vehicle has one, be
inspected for signs of wear or damage

Replace the tire if:

- There is cord or fabric showing
through the tire's rubber.
- The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut,
or snagged deep enough to show

- The tire has a bump, bulge, or split.
- The tire has a puncture, cut, or other
damage that cannot be repaired well
because of the size or location of the
damage.
