EXAMPLE: 95H
Maximum load indicates the maxi-mum load this tire is designed tocarry.
Maximum Pressure indicates themaximum permissible cold tire infla-tion pressure for this tire.The TIN may be found on one orboth sides of the tire but the datecode may only be on one side. Lookfor the TIN on the outboard side oftires as mounted on the vehicle. If theTIN is not found on the outboard sidethen you will find it on the inboardside of the tire.
Temporary spare tires are highpressure compact sparesdesigned for temporary emer-gency use only. Tires designedto this standard have the letter“T” molded into the sidewallpreceding the size
designation.
Example: T145/80D18 103M.

Load indexA numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry.NOTE
H
Speed symbolA symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corre-sponding to its load index under certain operating con-ditions.The maximum speed corre-sponding to the speed symbol should only be achieved under specified operating conditions. (i.e. tire pressure, vehicle loading, road condi-tions and posted speed limits)

Proper tire inflation pre
ssure is essential for
the safe and satisfac
tory operation of your
vehicle. The wrong tire pressure will causeproblems in three major areas:SafetyToo little pressure increases flexing in thetire and can cause tire failure. Too muchpressure can cause a tire to lose its abilityto cushion shock. Objects on the road andpotholes could then ca
use tire damage that
may result in tire failure.EconomyThe wrong tire pressu
re can cause uneven
wear patterns in the tire tread. Theseabnormal wear patter
ns will reduce the
tread life, and the tire will have to bereplaced sooner.Too little pressure also makes it harder forthe tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel.Ride comfort and vehicle stabilityThe superior riding e
xperience built into
your vehicle partly de
pends on the correct
tire pressure. Too much pressure gives anuncomfortable and jarring ride. Too littlepressure feels as if
your vehicle is slow to
respond.Unequal tire pressure
s can make steering
your vehicle uneven
and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under nor-mal driving conditions is listed on the placardattached to the driver’s door sill.(Refer to “Tire and loading information plac-ard” on page 11-3.)The recommended inflation pressures undernormal driving conditions should be used forthe tires listed below.Tire pressures should be checked, andadjusted if necessary, at least once a month.Pressures should be checked more oftenwhenever weather temperatures changeseverely, becaus
e tire pressures change with
outdoor temperatures. The pressures listedare always “cold in
flation pressure”.
Cold inflation pressure is measured after thevehicle has been parked for at least threehours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)after having been parked for three hours.Cold inflation pressure must not go above themaximum values molded into the tire side-wall. After driving several miles, your tireinflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14
to 41 kPa) from the cold inflation pressure.Do not let air out of the tires to get back to thespecified cold pressure, or your tires will betoo low.Check your tires each t
ime you refuel. If one
tire looks lower than the others, check thepressure for all of them.You should also take the following safety pre-cautions:Keep your tires inflated to the recom-mended pressures. (See the tire and load-ing information placard attached to thedriver’s door sill.)Stay within the recommended load limits.Make sure that the weight of any load inyour vehicle is evenly distributed.Drive at safe speeds.After filling your tires to the correct pres-sure, check them for damage and airleaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on thevalve stems.

The following maintenance steps are recom-mended:Check tire pressures regularly.Have regular maintenance done on thewheel balance and front and rear suspen-sion alignment.Rotate your tires regul
arly as described in
the “Tire rotation” section on page 9-20.
N00939800184
Tread wear indicators are built into the origi-nal equipment tires on
your vehicle to help
you know when your tires should be replaced.
Many states have la
ws requiring that you
replace your tires at this point.These indicators are molded into the bottomof the tread grooves and will appear when thetire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch (1.6mm).When the bands appear next to one another intwo or more places
, replace your tires.

To even out the wear on your tires and makethem last longer, Mitsubishi Motors Corpora-tion recommends that y
ou rotate your tires at
the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.However, the timing for tire rotation mayvary according to your vehicle condition,road surface conditions, and your own per-sonal driving habits. Any time you noticeunusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as pos-sible.When rotating tires,
check for uneven wear,
damage, and wheel alignment. Abnormalwear is usually caused by a wrong tire pres-
On all-wheel drive vehi
cles, always use tires
of the same size, same
type, and same brand,
and which have no wear differences. Usingtires that differ in si
ze, type, brand or the
degree of wear, will in
crease the differential
oil temperature, resul
ting in possible damage
to the driving system. Further, the drive trainwill be subjected to ex
cessive loading, possi-
bly leading to oil leakage, component sei-zure, or other serious problems.Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheelsshould be used, beca
use your vehicle is
equipped with a tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem.Use of another type of
wheel risks air leaks
and sensor damage, as
it will not be possible
to install the tire pressure sensor properly.NOTE
On vehicles with Elec
tric parking brake, 16
inches steel wheel cannot be used on yourvehicle because it interfe
res with brake parts.
Additionally, 16 inches aluminum wheelmay not be used on your vehicle dependingon its type, even if a Mitsubishi Motors Gen-uine wheels.Consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer before using
wheels that you have.

sure, wheels that are not aligned properly,wheels that are out-of-balance, or severebraking.Check with an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair fac
ility of your choice to
find out the reason for uneven tread wear.The first tire rotation is the most importantone. It will allow all your tires to wear evenly.

In some areas of the country, snow tires arerequired for winter driving. If snow tires arerequired in your area, you must choose snowtires of the same size
and type as the original
tires provided with your
vehicle. Snow tires
should also be
installed on all four wheels.
Otherwise your safety
and vehicle handling
can be reduced.Even where laws may permit it, snow tiresshould not be operated
at sustained speeds
over 75 mph (120 km/h).
CAUTIONA compact spare tire can be installed tempo-rarily in place of a tir
e that has been removed
during the tire rotation. However, it must notbe included in the regular tire rotationsequence.

howing rotation direction

If the tires have arrows (A) indicating thecorrect direction of rotation, swap the frontand rear tires on the left-hand side of thevehicle and the front and rear tires on theright-hand side of th
e vehicle separately.
Keep each tire on its original side of thevehicle. When installing the tires, make surethe arrows point in the
direction in which the
wheels will turn when the vehicle moves for-ward. Any tire whose
arrow points in the
wrong direction will not
perform to its full
potential.CAUTIONAvoid the combined use of different types oftires. Using different t
ypes of tires can affect
vehicle performance and safety.CAUTIONFront
