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:

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

Tires should be rotated every 12 000 km
(7,500 mi). See Maintenance Schedule.

rotation is the most important...
