Tires and wheelsWARNING
When replacing a tire, make sure you use only the same size,
circumferences, construction, brand, speed symbol and load in- dex as the original tires listed on the tire placard. Using othersizes, circumferences or construction may result in severe me-
chanical damage to the drivetrain of your vehicle and may affectride, handling, braking, speedometer/odometer calibration, and
clearance between the body and tires. It also may be dangerousand lead to loss of vehicle 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.
