NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when they
are not being used on the road. It is
recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or older.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accelerate the
aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road
tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured
(both week and year) is indicated by a
4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-23.
▼Safety Practices
The way you drive has a great deal to do
with your tire mileage and safety. So
cultivate good driving habits for your own
benefit.
Observe posted speed
limits and drive at
speeds that are safe for the existing
weather conditions
Avoid fast starts, stops and turns
Avoid potholes and objects on the road
Do not run over curbs or hit the tire
against the curb when parking
CAUTION
If you feel a sudden vibration or ride
disturbance while driving or you suspect
your tire or vehicle has been damaged,
immediately reduce yo ur speed. Drive with
caution until you can safely pull off the
road. Stop and inspect the tire for damage.
If the tire is under-inflated or damaged,
deflate it, remove the tire and rim and
replace it with your spare tire. If you cannot
detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to
the nearest vehicle or tire dealer to have
the vehicle inspected.
