Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, ination pressure, maintenance history, speed, and environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use). In addition to regular inspections and ination pressure maintenance, it is recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach ve years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from service after 10 years
from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M+S”, snow tires,
or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufcient distance between vehicles when
driving. For winter tires, select the size and load ranges that are the same as the original tires, and mount them to all four wheels.
Tire Chains
Because your vehicle has limited tire clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains: For 215/55R16 tires:
Cable-type: Autotrac 0154505 For 215/50R17 tires:
Cable-type: Autotrac 0154005
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch the brake lines or suspension.
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of tire chains.
WARNING
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can damage your
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting any part of the vehicle.
NOTICE
Tire Labeling
The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you
should be aware of are described below. Here is an example of what each marking means: P205/55R16 89H
P: Vehicle type (passenger)205: tire width in millimeters55: aspect ratio (tire section height as a percentage of its width) R: tire construction code (radial)16: rim diameter in inches89: load index (code indicating maximum load tire can carry) H: speed symbol (code indicating maximum speed rating)
Tire Identification Number (TIN)
The tire identication number (TIN) is a group of numbers and letters that look like the
example below. TIN is located on the sidewall of the tire.
Glossary of Tire Terminology
Cold Tire Pressure – The tire air pressure when the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). Load Rating – The maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given ination pressure. Maximum Ination Pressure – The maximum tire air pressure that the tire can hold.
Maximum Load Rating – The load rating for a tire at the maximum permissible ination pressure for that tire. Recommended Ination Pressure – The cold tire ination pressure
recommended by the manufacturer.
Treadwear Indicators (TWI) – The projections within the principal grooves designed to give a visual indication of the degrees of wear of the tread.
