2018 DODGE DURANGO SRT tires

It is impossible to predict when tires should be replaced based on their
calendar age alone. However the older a tire the greater the chance that it
will need to be replaced due to the service-related evolution or other
conditions found upon inspection or detected during use.
While most tires will need replacement before they achieve 10 years, it is
recommended that any tires in service 10 years or more from the date of
manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires as a simple
precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even if they have not
reached the legal wear limit.
For tires that were on an original equipment vehicle (i.e., acquired by the
consumer on a new vehicle), follow the vehicle manufacturer ’s tire replace-
ment recommendations, when specified (but not to exceed 10 years).
The date when a tire was manufactured is located on the sidewall of each
tire. Consumers should locate the Department of Transportation or DOT
code on the tire which begins with DOT and ends with the week and year
of manufacture. For example, a DOT code ending with2204indicates a
tire made in the 22nd week (May) of 2004.

TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Tires can lose 1 psi (pound per square inch) per month under normal
conditions.Additionally, tires can lose 1 psi for every 10° F temperature
drop.

Just a look won’t do it.One of these tires is actually 10 psi under-inflated.
Your eyes can deceive you, so rely on a good tire gauge for an accurate
reading.
Look for the manufacturer ’s recommended tire pressure listed on the
sticker usually located on the driver ’s-side door edge or door jamb area.
Example:

This chart shows you how underinflation can create an overload on
tires.Check your tire pressure every month to make sure it’s up to
specification, especially before long trips or carrying extra weight.
Lower pressure increases heat.Infrared photography of tires tested at

AIR PRESSURE —MONTHLY CHECK
For accuracy, check your inflation pressure with a tire gauge when tires
are cold.
Driving heats up tires and makes the reading incorrect.
1. Remove tire valve cap.
2. Place the end of the tire gauge over valve.

5. Replace valve cap.

For maximum mileage, rotate your tires according to the vehicle
manufacturer ’s recommendations (consult your vehicle owner ’s
manual), or if not provided, rotate every 5,000 miles using a rotation
pattern such as below (see “Radial Tire Rotation” in this manual).
