•The use of any other tire size ortype may seriously affect ride,handling, ground clearance, stop‐ping distance, body to tire clear‐ance, snow tire clearance, andspeedometer reliability.
•It is best to replace all four tires atthe same time. If that is not possi‐ble, or necessary, then replace thetwo front or two rear tires as apair. Replacing just one tire can se‐riously affect your vehicle’s han‐dling.
