door jamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door.  
If you have plus-size tires that require a higher inflation pressure, your 
tire pressure monitoring system will require re-calibration to the new 
proper inflation pressure. Refer to your tire dealer/installer of plus-size 
tires for proper inflation pressure. You should check inflation in all your 
tires, including the spare, once each month and before every long trip. \
Regardless whether your spare is a full-size spare or a mini-spare, 
make sure that it is properly inflated. If the TPMS generates improper 
monitoring or signals, you should consult your vehicle owner’s manual 
and follow up with your vehicle’s manufacturer.
Tire Spinning
Do not spin wheels at more than 35 mph (55 km/h) as indicated 
on your vehicle’s speedometer. Excessive speed in a free-running, 
unloaded tire can cause it to “explode” from centrifugal force. The 
energy released by such an explosion may cause serious physical 
injury or death. Never allow anyone to stand near or behind a spinning 
tire. When in mud, sand, snow, ice, or another slippery condition, 
do not engage in excessive wheel spin. Accelerating the motor 
excessively, particularly with automatic transmission vehicles, may 
cause a drive tire that has lost traction to spin beyond its speed-
enduring capability. This is also true when balancing a drive  
tire/wheel assembly on the vehicle using the vehicle engine to spin  
the tire/wheel assembly.
High Speed Driving Is Dangerous
Correct inflation pressure is especially important. However, at high 
speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard is more 
difficult to avoid, and if tire contact is made with it, there is a greater 
chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover, 
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid 
accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop.

REPLACING TWO TIRES•
 When a pair of replacement tires is selected in the same size and 
construction as those on the vehicle, the two newer tires must be 
installed on the rear axle and must be of equal or higher speed 
rating than the front tires. Generally, new tires with deeper tread 
will provide better grip and evacuate water more effectively, which 
is important as a driver approaches hydroplaning situations. 
Placing greater traction on the rear axle on wet surfaces is 
necessary to prevent a possible oversteer condition and loss of 
vehicle stability.
•
 When two new tires have been installed onto the rear axle 
positions, they are to be kept on the rear but rotated from side 
to side. This is recommended after installing two new tires to the 
rear position, or if you discover significant tread depth differences 
between the front and rear positions during rotation intervals.
REPLACING ONE TIRE •
 Replacing a single tire on a vehicle can have an adverse effect on 
suspension systems, gear ratios, transmission, and tire treadwear.
•
 If single tire replacement is unavoidable, it is recommended that 
the single new tire be paired with the tire that has the deepest 
tread and both be placed on the rear axle. Placing greater traction 
on the rear axle on wet surfaces is necessary to prevent a possible 
oversteer condition and loss of vehicle stability.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING •
 Proper wheel alignment and balance are very important 
considerations for safety and getting the maximum mileage from 
your tires. You need to check how your tires are wearing at least 
once a month.
•
 Your vehicle may be out of alignment if your tires are wearing 
unevenly, such as when the inside shoulder of the tire is wearing 
faster than the rest of the tread. This condition not only shortens 
the life of your tires, it adversely affects the handling characteristics 
of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If your tires show 
irregular wear, have your vehicle’s alignment checked immediately.
