Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine gencies. Such "stop-gap" devices
as plugs and aerosol-type sealants
are good for no more than
100
miles of driving at speeds not over
50 mph. A permanent vulcanized
repair, plug or patch applied from
inside the tire, should be made
as
soon as possible. Also, the instal­
lation of an inner tube in a dam­
aged tubeless tire
is not a recom ­
mended repair procedure.
Replacemeot Tires
When replacing tires, only the
size, load range, and construction
type (bias, bias-belted ,
or radial)
originally installed on your vehi­

to the body and chassis.
The following also should be con­

not mix radial ply tires with
other type tires on the same
vehicle.
• It is recommended that new tires
be installed
in pairs on the same
axle.
• When replacing only one tire, it
should be paired with the tire
having the least wear, to equal­
ize braking traction.
• When replacing original tires

with an optional recommended
size of different diameter, the
speedometer must be recali­
brated
by installing the correct
speedometer driven gear.

sures shown on the tire placard up
to a maximum of 32 psi (cold) for
load range B tires and
40 psi for
load range D tires.
It is recom ­
mended that vehicle speeds be lim­
ited to a maximum of 75 mph if
snow tires are installed.
