When to Check: Check your tires once a
month
or more. Don’t forget your
compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi
(420 kPa).
How to Check: Use a good quality
pocket-type gage to check tire pressure.
Simply looking at the tires will not tell
you the pressure, especially if you have
radial tires
- which may look properly
inflated even if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to
put them back on. They help prevent
leaks by keeping out
dirt and moisture.

Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them
inspected and rotated at the mileages
recommended
in the Maintenance
Schedule. See “Scheduled Maintenance
Services”
in the Index.
If you don’t have
P245/50ZR 16 size tires,
use the rotation pattern shown above for
your size tires. If
you have P245/50ZR16 size tires, they
must roll
in a certain direction for the best
overall performance. The direction is
shown by an arrow on both sidewalls.
Because these tires are directional, they
should
be rotated as shown in the
example above. These tires should only
be moved from front to rear and rear to
front on the same side of the vehicle.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the front and rear inflation pressure as
shown on the Tire-Loading Information
label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel
Nut
Torque” in the Index.

Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on
- the parts to which it is fastened,
can make wheel
nuts become loose
after a time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
you change a wheel, remove any
rust
or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches
to the vehicle. In an
emergency,
you can use a cloth or a
paper towel to do this; but be sure to
use a scraper
or wire brush later, if
you need to, to get all the rust or dirt
off. (See “Changing
a Flat Tire” in
When It’s Time for New Tires
One way to tell when it’s time for new
tires
is to check the treadwear indicators,
which will appear when your tires have
only
2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread
remaining.
You need a new tire if:

The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut
The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
The tire has a puncture, cut, or other
damage that can’t be repaired well
because
of the size or location of the
damage.
Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you
need, look at the Tire-Loading
Information label.
The tires installed on your vehicle when
it
was new had a Tire Performance Criteria
Specification (TPC Spec) number
on each
tire’s sidewall. When you get new tires,
get ones
with that same TPC Spec
number. That way, your vehicle
will
continue to have tires that are designed to
give proper endurance, handling, speed

your tires have an all-season tread design,
&he
TPC number will be followed by a
“MS” (for mud and snow).
If you ever replace your tires with those
not having a TPC Spec number, make
sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating and construction type (bias,
bias-belted or radial) as your original
tires.
