Tire Repair
If your tire becomes damaged, it may be repaired if it meets the
fo
llowing criteria:
• The tire has not been driven on when flat.
•
The damage is only on the tread section of your tire (sidewall
d
amage is not repairable).
• The puncture is no greater than a ¼ of an inch (6
mm).
Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire repairs and additional
in
formation.
Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires that have experienced a loss
of
pressure should be replaced immediately with another Run Flat tire
of identical size and service description (Load Index and Speed
Symbol).
Run Flat Tires — If Equipped
Run Flat tires allow you the capability to drive 50 miles (80 km) at
50

mph (80 km/h) after a rapid loss of inflation pressure. This rapid
lo

ss of inflation is referred to as the Run Flat mode. A Run Flat mode
occurs when the tire inflation pressure is of/or below 14 psi (96 kPa).
Once a Run Flat tire reaches the run flat mode it has limited driving
capabilities and needs to be replaced immediately. A Run Flat tire is
not repairable.
It is not recommended to drive a vehicle loaded at full capacity or to
to
w a trailer while a tire is in the Run Flat mode.
See the Tire Pressure Monitoring System section for more information.
Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice conditions, do not spin your
ve
hicle's wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
co

ntinuously without stopping.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck Vehicle” in “In Case Of Emergency” in your
Ow
ner’s Manual for further information.

TIRES

Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you
in
determining when your tires should be replaced.
Tire Tread
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves.
They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes a 2/32 of an
inch (1.6 mm). When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the
ti

re should be replaced.
Refer to “Replacement Tires” in this section for further information.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by
ex
cessive 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
co

ntinuously when you are stuck, and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

It is recommended to replace the two front tires or two rear tires as a
pair. Replacing just one tire can seriously affect your vehicle’s
handling. If you 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
eq
uipment 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
t
han that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unap -
proved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and
pe
rformance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering,
handling, and braking of your vehicle. This can cause unpredict -
able handling and stress to steering and suspension compo -
nents. You could lose control and have a collision resulting in
se
rious 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
w
hat 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
c
apability can result in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle
control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in
fa
lse speedometer and odometer readings.

TIRES
18
For speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h) refer to original equipment or an
au
thorized tire dealer for recommended safe operating speeds,
loading and cold tire inflation pressures.
While studded tires improve performance on ice, skid and traction
ca
pability on wet or dry surfaces may be poorer than that of
non-studded tires. Some states prohibit studded tires; therefore, local
laws should be checked before using these tire types.
Spare Tires — If Equipped
S

pare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire And Wheel — If
Eq
uipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a spare tire and wheel equivalent
in
look and function to the original equipment tire and wheel found
on the front or rear axle of your vehicle. This spare tire may be used in
the tire rotation for your vehicle. If your vehicle has this option, refer
to an authorized tire dealer for the recommended tire rotation pattern.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary emergency use only. You can
id
entify if your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare by looking
at the spare tire description on the Tire and Loading Information
Placard located on the driver side door opening or on the sidewall of
the tire. Compact spare tire descriptions begin with the letter “T” or
“S” preceding the size designation. Example: T145/80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equipment tire should
be
repaired (or replaced) and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first
opportunity.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire
on
the compact spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically
for the compact spare tire. Do not install more than one compact spare
tire and wheel on the vehicle at any given time. CAUTION!

Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle
t h

rough an automatic car wash with a compact or limited use
temporary spare installed. Damage to the vehicle may result.

TIRES
19
Collapsible Spare Tire — If Equipped
The collapsible spare is for temporary emergency use only. You can
id
entify if your vehicle is equipped with a collapsible spare by looking
at the spare tire description on the Tire and Loading Information
Placard located on the driver side door opening or on the sidewall of
the tire.
Collapsible spare tire description example: 165/80-17 101P.
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equipment tire should
be
repaired (or replaced) and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first
opportunity.
Inflate collapsible tire only after the wheel is properly installed to the
ve
hicle. Inflate the collapsible tire using the electric air pump before
lowering the vehicle.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire
on
the collapsible spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically
for the collapsible spare tire.
WARNING!
Compact and collapsible spares are for temporary emergency use
on
ly. With these spares, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h).
Te

mporary use spares have limited tread life. When the tread is
worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire
needs to be replaced. Be sure to follow the warnings, which apply
to your spare. Failure to do so could result in spare tire failure and
loss of vehicle control.

original equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original equipment tire
and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped
The limited use spare tire is for temporary emergency use only. This
ti
re is identified by a label located on the limited use spare wheel. This
label contains the driving limitations for this spare. This tire may look
like the original equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle,
but it is not. Installation of this limited use spare tire affects vehicle
handling. Since it is not the same as your original equipment tire,
replace (or repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on the
vehicle at the first opportunity.
WARNING!
Limited use spares are for emergency use only. Installation of this
li
mited use spare tire affects vehicle handling. With this tire, do
not drive more than the speed listed on the limited use spare
wheel. Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressures listed on
your Tire and Loading Information Placard located on the driver’s
side B-Pillar or the rear edge of the driver’s side door. Replace (or
repair) the original equipment tire at the first opportunity and

Temperature Grades
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
ti
re's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat, when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to
de
generate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance,
which all passenger vehicle tires must meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel, than the minimum
required by law.
TIRE WARRANTY
