Inflation Pressure
The tire inflation pressures
listed on the tire placard have
been selected to provide the best
tire life, riding comfort and han
dling stability for normal driving
conditions. When inflated at the
highest pressures shown on the
placard, the tires have the load
carrying capacity to operate satis
factorily at all loads up to and
including the vehicle capacity load

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.
