Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause\

Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire inflation and
maintenance
.
WARNING

The label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and
loading information.
Original
tire sizes
Number of people your
vehicle can carry
Proper cold tire pressure Total weight your
vehicle can carry
(do not exceed)
n Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rati\
ng, and
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires of a
different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems to work\
incorrectly
.
It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’t possible, replace the
front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match
those of the original wheels. Only use TPMS-specified wheels approved \
for your
vehicle.
Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stabil\
ity.
This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the Owner’s
Manual.
WARNING
n Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving h\
abits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance,\
it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires re\
ach five
years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from servic\
e after
10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or \
state of wear
.
n
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M\
+S”, snow tires, or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance \
between
vehicles when driving. For winter tires, select the size and load ranges\
that are the same as the original tires, and mount them to all four wheels.
n
Tire Chains
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited tire
clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains:
Cable type: SCC Super Z LT-ZT735
Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch\
the brake
lines or suspension.
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can
damage your vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop
driving if they are hitting any part of the vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage th\
e
brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or
killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of\
tire
chains.
