Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase
your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.

Tires — General Information
Tire Pressure
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the safe and satisfactory
operation of your vehicle. Four primary areas are affected by improper
tire pressure:
•Safety and Vehicle Stability
• Economy
• Tread Wear
• Ride Comfort
Safety
WARNING!
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.
• Underinflation
increases
tire
flexing
and
can
result
in
overheating
and
tire
failure.
• Overinflation
reduces
a
tire’s
ability
to
cushion
shock.
Objects
on
the
road
and
chuckholes
can
cause
damage
that
result
in
tire
failure.
• Overinflated or underinflated tires can affect vehicle handling and
can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
• Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose
control of your vehicle.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can
cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left.
• Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire
inflation pressure.
Both
underinflation
and
overinflation
affect
the
stability
of
the
vehicle

and
can
produce
a
feeling
of
sluggish
r
esponse
or
over
responsiveness
in

the
steering.
NOTE:
• Unequal tire pressures from side to side may cause erratic and
unpredictable steering response.
• Unequal tire pressure from side to side may cause the vehicle to drift
left or right.

Ride
Comfort
And
Vehicle
Stability
Proper
tire
inflation
contributes
to
a
comfortable
ride.
Overinflation

produces
a
jarring
and
uncomfortable
ride.
TireInflation Pressures
The
proper
cold
tire
inflation
pressure
is
listed
on
the
driver’s
side

B-Pillar
or
rear
edge
of
the
driver’s
side
door.
At
least
once
a
month:
• Check

and
adjust
tire
pressure
with
a
good
quality
pocket-type
pressure
gauge.
Do
not
make
a
visual
judgement
when
determining
proper
inflation.
Tires
may
look
properly
inflated
even
when
they
are
underinflated.
• Inspect tires for signs of

tire wear or visible damage.
CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, always reinstall the
valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the
valve stem, which could damage the valve stem.
Inflation pressures specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation
pressure”. Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure after
the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than
1 mile (1.6 km) after sitting for a minimum of three hours. The cold tire
inflation pressure must not exceed the maximum inflation pressure
molded into the tire sidewall.
Check tire pressures more often if subject to a wide range of outdoor
temperatures, as tire pressures vary with temperature changes.
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12°F (7°C) of air
temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure
inside a garage, especially in the Winter.

If

then
the

Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation
The
manufacturer
advocates
driving
at
safe
speeds
and
within
posted

speed
limits.
Where
speed
limits
or
conditions
are
such
that
the
vehicle

can
be
driven
at
high
speeds,
maintaining
correct
tire
inflation
pressure
is

very
important.
Increased
tire
pressure
and
reduced
vehicle
loading
may

be
required
for
high
speed
vehicle
operation.
Refer
to
an
authorized
tire

dealer
or
original
equipment
vehicle
dealer
for
recommended
safe

operating
speeds,
loading


and
cold
tire
inflation
pressures.
WARNING!
High speed driving with your vehicle under maximum load is
dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail.
You could have a serious collision. Do not drive a vehicle loaded to
the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph
(120 km/h).
Radial Ply Tires
WARNING!
Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle
will cause your vehicle to handle poorly. The instability could cause
a collision. Always use radial ply tires in sets of four. Never combine
them with other types of tires.

Tire Repair
If your tire becomes damaged, it may be repaired if it meets the following
criteria:
•The tire has not been driven on when flat.
• The damage is only on the tread section of your tire (sidewall damage
is not repairable).
• The puncture is no greater thana¼ofaninch (6 mm).

WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive
wheel speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode
and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than
30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 30 seconds continuously when you
are stuck, and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter
what the speed.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in
determining when your tires should be replaced.
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will
appear as bands when the tread depth becomes a 1/16 of an inch (1.6 mm).
When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the tire should be
replaced.
Refer to “Replacement Tires” in this section for further information.

Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including, but
not limited to:
•˜ž›1 riving
style
ï
• Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause uneven
wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear
patterns will reduce tread life, resulting in the need for earlier tire
replacement.
• ‘Ž1 –’•Žœ
driven.
• Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of V or higher, and
Summer tires typically have a reduced tread life. Rotation of these tires
per the vehicle scheduled maintenance is highly recommended.
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless
of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in
sudden tire failure. You could lose control and have a collision
resulting in serious injury or death.

It
is
recommended
to
replace

two
front
tires
or
two
rear
tires
as
a
pair.

Replacing
just
one
tire


can
seriously
affect
your
vehicle’s
handling.
If
you
17

ever replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match
those of the original wheels.
It is recommended you contact an authorized tire dealer or original
equipment dealer with any questions you may have on tire specifications
or capability. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely
affect the safety, handling, and ride of your vehicle.
WARNING!
•Do not use a tire, wheel size, load rating, or speed rating other than
that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved
tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and perfor-
mance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling,
and braking of your vehicle. This can cause unpredictable han-
dling and stress to steering and suspension components. You could
lose control and have a collision resulting in serious injury or
death. Use only the tire and wheel sizes with load ratings approved
for your vehicle.
• Never use a tire with a smaller load index or capacity, other than
what was originally equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with a
smaller load index could result in tire overloading and failure. You
could lose control and have a collision.
• Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having adequate speed
capability can result in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle
control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in
false speedometer and odometer readings.
