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

Replacemeot Tires
When replacing tires, only the
size, load range, and construction

• When replacing original tires

size of different diameter, the
speedometer must be recali

by installing the correct
