Tires and wheels WARNING
When replacing a tire, make sure you use only the same size,
circumferece, construction, brand, and load range as the original tires listed on the tire placard. Using other sizes, circumferecesor construction may result in severe mechanical damage to thedrivetrain of your vehicle and may affect ride, handling, braking,
speedometer/odometer calibration, and clearance between thebody and tires. It also may be dangerous and lead to loss of ve-hicle control. Do not use a combination of radial, belted bias or bias tires
since it may cause dangerous handling characteristics and leadto an accident. Do not let air out of warm tires to adjust pressure. Doing so
will result in low tire pressure.
The tires should b e c hec ked freq uently for p rop er t ire p ressure, wear,
and c uts. Tire pressure
For the b est b alanc e b etween fuel ec onomy, tire lif e, rid e c omfort, and
hand ling , tire p ressure should b e maintained in ac c ord anc e with sp ec ifi-

11-42c ations. Chec k the tire p ressure when the tires are
c old . Cold means that
the vehic le has b een p arked for three hours or has b een d riven less than
1 mile (1.6 km).

Adjusting the tire pressure
The tire p lac ard shows the rec ommend ed tire p ressur es at lig ht load ,
at full load and when towing a trailer. If the vehi c le is load ed with three
oc c up ants or less, ad just the tire p ressure to the level rec ommend ed
for lig ht load . If the vehic le is more load ed , ad ju st it to the level rec om-
mend ed for full load . When towing a trailer, ad just it to the level rec -
ommend ed for that op eration.
Tire rotation
Tire wear will vary with eac h wheel. To inc rease th e life of tires and keep
wear uniform, it is b est to rotate them every 7,500 miles (12,500 km).
When rotating tires, rep lac e any unevenly worn or d amag ed tire. After
rotating the tires, ad just tire p ressure and b e sur e to c hec k wheel nut
