GA Performance Blackwall (P225/60ZR 16)
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at 60 psi (420 kPa).
How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires
will not tell you the pressure,
especially if you have radial tires
-- which may look properly inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks
by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended
in the Maintenance Schedule. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”
in the Index.
FRONT Use this rotation
pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation
pressure as
shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain
that
all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque’’ in the
Index.

Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at the Tire-Loading
Information label.
The tires installed
on your vehicle when it was new had a Tire
Performance Criteria Specification
(TPC Spec) number on each tire’s
sidewall. When you get new tires, get ones with that same
TPC Spec
number. That way, your vehicle will continue to have tires that are
designed to give proper endurance, handling, speed rating, traction, ride
and other things during normal service
on your vehicle. If your tires have
an all-season tread design, the
TPC number will be followed by a “MS”
(for mud and snow).
If you ever replace your tires with
those not having a TPC Spec number,
make sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating and
construction type
(bias, bias-belted or radial) as your original tires.
A CAUTION:
Mixing tires could cause you to lose control while driving. If you
mix tires of different sizes or types (radial and bias-belted
tires), the vehicle
may not handle properly, and you could have a
crash. Be sure to use the same size and type tires on all four
wheels.
It’s
all right to drive with your compact spare, though. It was
developed for use
on your vehicle.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the system developed by the United
States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which grades tires
by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only
to vehicles sold
in the United States.)
