•Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information
placard on the driver’s door jamb, using an accurate gauge.
•Tire pressures are specified “cold” and should be checked after the
vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. Do not reduce pressure
of warm tires.
•Check your tire pressure often to maintain it properly. Tire pressure
can diminish over time and fluctuate with temperature.
•Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum vehicle and axle weights are
listed on the tire information placard.
•Extra caution should be taken when operating the vehicle near its
maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing
speeds.
•Extra caution should be taken when operating on rough roads to avoid
impacts that could cause tire damage.
•In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
your tires for damage.
•Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis. If a tire is damaged,
replace it immediately.
•Proper suspension alignment is critical for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven tire wear, have your alignment
checked.
•Rotate tires as recommended in the following sectionTire rotation.
•When replacing tires, the only way to ensure original performance is
to use the original equipment tire. If a different tire is used, it should
be the same size, speed rating and load rating and be replaced as a set
of four. Never mix tire brands.
WARNING:For vehicles equipped with optional performance
package tires (P265/40-19 front, P285/35-20 rear), only replace
wheels and tires with the EXACT original brand, size and construction
tire with which your vehicle was originally equipped. Use of any other
wheel/tire combinations, even with identical size ratings, may result in
insufficient running clearances, tire rubbing and eventual puncture.
Loss of tire pressure could lead to a loss of vehicle control leading to
serious injury or death.
