2020 DODGE DURANGO tire pressure

TO MAINTAIN PROPER VEHICLE DYNAMICS AND LOAD CARRY-
ING CAPACITY, REPLACEMENT TIRES MUST ALWAYS HAVE A
LOAD INDEX AND SPEED SYMBOL EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN
THOSE FITTED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
When making plus size fitments, you should consult with the dealer
regarding any suspension or braking system modifications which may be
recommended for the vehicle.
9. Tire Inspection
As a minimum, tires (including the spare tire) should be examined and air
pressure checked monthly and always prior to long trips. They should also
be examined if you strike any unusual object on the road. Tires showing
bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations or uneven wear must be dismounted and
examined by an authorized Pirelli tire dealer and replaced if necessary.
Pirelli tires have treadwear indicators in the tread grooves, which show up
when the tread has worn to 2/32” remaining. At this point, your tires must
be replaced because they are illegal and dangerous.
The mere passage of time (age) does not cause tires to deteriorate, but
rather exposure to outside forces. Such outside forces can include, but are
not limited to: road hazards, punctures, improper repairs, misalignment,
under inflated operation, over inflated operation, excessive heat caused
by over deflected operation, excessive exposure to ozone, improper
storage conditions, etc. Tire companies can only have an impact on a few
of these exposures. Tire companies add antiozinants and anti-oxidants
(anti-degradation compounds) to minimize degradation. Pirelli believes
that since there is no way to accurately predict what outside forces a tire
will be exposed to there is no scientifically supportable age limit that can
be set for tires.
To avoid cosmetic damage, use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls
and rinse off with low-pressure tap water. Never apply cleaners or
dressings to enhance sidewall appearance to avoid removal of antioxi-
dants, which are intended to prevent ozone degradation. The removal of
anti-oxidants may degrade the rubber and can lead to sidewall cracking.
Use of high-pressure sprayers may cause sidewall damage.
WARNING!
Driving on a damaged tire is dangerous, as the tire can suddenly fail,
which can lead to an accident and serious personal injury or death.

12.Storage
Should
you
need
to
store
tires
after
removal
from
a
vehicle
(as
in
the
case

of

tires),
they
should
be
stored
in
a
cool,
dry
place.
To
protect
your

tires
from
damage
related
to:
heat,
water,
ozone
and
direct
sunlight,
it
is

suggested
you
place
them
in
opaque,
waterproof
containers
(e.g.,
plastic

trash
bags).
13.Tubes in Tubeless Tires
Under
no
circumstances
are
tubes
to
be
used
in
Pirelli
tires
marked

“Tubeless”.
This
includes
tires
that
have
been
repaired.
If
the
tire’s

pressure
retention
ability
has
been
affected,
so
as
to
necessitate
a
tube

being
installed,
the
tire
must
be
replaced.
14. Tire Valves
Whenever
new
tires
are
installed
on
your
wheels,
new
tire
valves
of
the

correct
type
must
be
installed.
During
your
routine
tire
inspection,
verify

that
all
your
valves
have
proper
valve
caps.
Replace
as
necessary,
since

the
valve
cap
is
also
a
seal
against
pressure
loss.
15.Tire Demounting and Mounting
Ti re
fitting
is
best
left
to
professionals
who
have
the
proper
tools
and

equipment
to
perform
the
task
properly
and
safely.
Your
tires
should
be

mounted
or
demounted,
using
Ti re
and
Rubber
Association
of
Canada

procedures
or
the
vehicle
manufacturers’
recommendations.
Your
wheels

should
be
in
good,
clean
condition.
Wheels
should
be
inspected
for

distortion,
dents,
cracks,
rust
and
foreign


matter,
and
be
replaced
as

necessary.
NEVER
EXCEED
40

WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This Limited Warranty does not cover the following categories of claims:
Rapid Treadwear: Original equipment tires are not guaranteed to last a
specified number of miles.
Damage from road hazards (not limited to cuts, snags, bruises, impact
breaks, bulges, punctures, stone drills, chips, and scales), fire, theft, or
collision.
Conditions arising from improper tire/vehicle maintenance or use, not
limited to:
•Irregular or excessive treadwear due to: Incorrect inflation; overload-
ing; vehicle misalignment; failure to rotate tires; and poor or defective
mechanical condition of brakes, shocks, and wheels; or other factors
attributable to the vehicle or wheel.
• Any tire which has been run with low air pressure or while flat.
• Damage due to abuse; vandalism; tire alteration; tire spinning; racing;
or other competitive activities.
• Damage, corrosion, or deterioration from using oil-based chemicals,
water-based sealers, balancing substances, or flammable gases.
• Damage from improper use of tire chains.
Tires with the DOT identification number removed or rendered illegible.
Improper mounting, balancing or repair, not limited to:
• Improper tire mounting, or tire/wheel assembly imbalance.
• Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of the tire, incorrect

TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This manual is not intended to provide proper training or service
procedures for tire mounting, dismounting, balancing, rotation, or repair.
Please leave these tasks to qualified tire service professionals.
•Toyo brand tires are designed and built with great care. Any tire, no matter
how well constructed, can fail as a result of punctures, impact damage,
underinflation/overloading or other conditions resulting from use. Tire
failures may create a risk of property damage or personal injury. To obtain
the highest possible performance, tires must be maintained properly.
•Remember, you are ultimately responsible for the tires installed on your
vehicle.
Inflation pressure can decrease by 1 psi for every 10°F temperature drop
Important factors in tire care are:
• Proper inflation pressure
• Proper vehicle loading
• Proper vehicle maintenance
• Regular inspection
• Good driving habits
Refer to your vehicle Owner ’s Manual for additional tire safety and
service advice.

TIRE PRESSURE BASICS
The combined effect of losing 1 psi per month over several months along
with a 1 psi decrease for every 10°F temperature drop could add up to a
severe “run low” condition; consequently, it is important to check your
tires’ inflation pressure at least once per month. Inflation pressure enables
a tire to support its load; therefore, proper inflation is critical.
HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
It is impossible to determine whether tires are properly inflated just by
looking at them.

It is important to check your tires using an accurate tire pressure gauge,
which can be purchased at your tire dealer or auto supply store.
Under inflation can overload tires. Check the inflation pressure every
month, including for the spare tire, to make sure it’s up to specification.
Check it again before long trips or when carrying extra weight.
Look for the manufacturer ’s recommended inflation pressure listed on
the Tire Information Placard usually located on your vehicle’s door edge,
door post, glove box, or inside the trunk lid.

WARNING!
Driving on tires with insufficient inflation pressure is dangerous
because it will cause your tires to overheat. This can cause sudden
tire failure, which may result in loss of vehicle control and lead to
serious personal injury or death.
