Always check tires and wheels fordamage before returning to the road.Off-road use may cause damage toyour tires and wheels that could result intire failure.
Note:If you have reduced your tire pressurefor off-road use, the tire pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS) warning light will thenactivate in the instrument panel as areminder to re-inflate the tires beforereturning to the road.
Your vehicle is equipped with highperformance, all-terrain tires designed tooptimize handling, steering and braking toprovide the performance you expect in anSVT vehicle. These tires are optimized forboth on and off-road performance, andtheir ride, noise and wear characteristicsare different from other tires.

•Always maintain your tire pressuresaccording to the tire informationplacard located on the driver’s doorB-pillar, using an accurate gauge.Remember to be prepared to re-inflateyour tires before returning to the road.If a tire filling station is not available,remember to prepare a supplementalmeans to inflate the tires, such as aportable compressor.
•In cold temperature, check the tirepressure after the vehicle has beenparked for more than three hours. Donot reduce pressure of warm tires.

•Proper suspension alignment is criticalfor maximum performance andoptimal tire wear. If you notice uneventire wear, have your alignment checked.
•When replacing tires, the only way toassure original performance is to usethe original equipment tire. If a differenttire is used, it should be the same size,speed rating and load rating.
Tire Rotation
Because your vehicle’s tires performdifferent jobs, they often wear differently.To make sure your tires wear evenly andlast longer, have them rotated.
The front tires are shown at the left of theillustration.
Note:Your vehicle requires tire rotationsevery 5000 miles (8000 kilometers). If younotice that the tires wear unevenly, havethem checked.
Spare Tire and Wheel

USING SNOW CHAINS
The original equipment tires on your vehicleare not designed to be used with snowchains. If you will be operating your vehiclewith snow chains, use a smaller tire andwheel combination as recommended inyour Owner’s Manual.
WHEELS
Your vehicle is equipped with uniquewheels matched to the tires. To avoiddamage to your wheels:
•Maintain proper tire pressure. See TireCare (page 26).
•Due to extreme tire/wheel width, thisvehicle cannot be taken through anautomatic car wash that usesmechanical tracks, as wheel damagemay result.
