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
cle are recommended.
Use of any
other tire size
or type tire may
seriously affect ride, handling ,
speedometer / odometer calibration,
vehicle ground clearance and tire clearance
to the body and chassis.
The following also should be con­
sidered when replacing tires:
• To achieve best all around vehi­
cle performance, belted-bias tires
and
bias tires should not be
mixed on the same car.
• Because of possible adverse ef­
fects on vehicle handling , do
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
64
with an optional recommended
size of different diameter, the
speedometer must be recali­
brated
by installing the correct
speedometer driven gear.
Snow Tires
If you equip your vehicle with
snow tires, they should be inflated
4 psi above the recommended pres­
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.

reason , care should be taken to in-
