Tires
We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high-quality tires made
by a leading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted by the tire
manufacturers, and their warranties are delivered
with every new vehicle. If
your spare tire is a different brand than your road tires, you will have
a tire
warranty folder from each
of these manufacturers.
A CAUTION:
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous.
Overloading your tires can cause overheating as a result of too
much friction. You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.
Underinflated tires pose the same danger as overloaded tires.
The resulting accident could cause serious injury. Check all
tires frequently to maintain the recommended pressure. Tire
pressure should be checked when your tires are cold.
Overinflated tires are more likely to be cut, punctured, or
broken by
a sudden impact, such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires
at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your tread is badly
worn, or if your tires have been damaged, replace them.
Inflation - Tire Pressure
The Certification/Tire label which is on the rear edge of the driver‘s door, or
on the incomplete vehicle document in the cab, shows the correct inflation
pressures for your tires, when they’re cold. “Cold“ tneans your vehicle
has
been sitting for at least three hours or driven no more than a mile.
You can operate some vehicles at reduced inflation pressures only when
you’ll be carrying reduced loads. On those vehicles, the minimum cold
inflation pressures for
a typical reduced load are printed on the “Improved
Ride Tire Pressure” label located on the driver’s door. Weigh the vehicle to
find the load on each tire and see the label for the minimum cold inflation
pressures for that load.
