sitting for a minimum of 3 hours. The cold tire 
inflation pressure must not exceed the maximum 
inflation pressure molded into the tire sidewall.
Check tire pressures more often if subject to a 
wi
de range of outdoor temperatures, as tire 
pressures vary with temperature changes.
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi   
(7 kPa) per 12°F (7°C) of air temperature change. 
K e
ep this in mind when checking tire pressure 
inside a garage, especially in the Winter.
Example: If garage temperature = 68°F (20°C) 
a n
d the outside temperature = 32°F (0°C) then 
the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased 
by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for 
every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature 
condition.
Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi   
(13 to 40 kPa) during operation. DO NOT reduce 
t h
is normal pressure build up or your tire pressure 
will be too low.
Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation 
The manufacturer advocates driving at safe 
speeds and within posted speed limits. Where 
speed limits or conditions are such that the vehicle 
can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct 
tire inflation pressure is very important. Increased 
tire pressure and reduced vehicle loading may be 
required for high-speed vehicle operation. Refer to 
an authorized tire dealer or original equipment  vehicle dealer for recommended safe operating 
speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pressures.
Radial Ply Tires 
Tire Repair
If your tire becomes damaged, it may be repaired if 
i
t
 meets the following criteria:
The tire has not been driven on when flat.
The damage is only on the tread section of your 
tire (sidewall damage is not repairable).
The puncture is no greater than a ¼ of an inch 
(6  mm).
Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire repairs 
a n
d additional information.
Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires that have 
ex
 perienced a loss of pressure should be replaced 
immediately with another Run Flat tire of identical 
size and service description (Load Index and 
Speed Symbol). Replace the tire pressure sensor 
as well as it is not designed to be reused.
Run Flat Tires — If Equipped
Run Flat tires allow you the capability to drive 
50  miles (80  km) at 50  mph (80 km/h) after a 
r a
pid loss of inflation pressure. This rapid loss of 
inflation is referred to as the Run Flat mode. A Run 
Flat mode occurs when the tire inflation pressure is 
of/or below 14 psi (96 kPa). Once a Run Flat tire 
reaches the run flat mode it has limited driving 
capabilities and needs to be replaced immediately. 
A Run Flat tire is not repairable. When a run flat tire 
is changed after driving with underinflated tire 
condition, please replace the TPMS sensor as it is 
not designed to be reused when driven under run 
flat mode 14 psi (96 kPa) condition.
NOTE: 
TPMS Sensor must be replaced after driving the 
v e
hicle on a flat tire condition.
WARNING! 
High speed driving with your vehicle under 
maximum load is dangerous. The added strain 
on your tires could cause them to fail. You could 
have a serious collision. Do not drive a vehicle 
loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous 
speeds above 75  mph (120 km/h).
WARNING! 
Combining radial ply tires with other types of 
tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to 
handle poorly. The instability could cause a 
collision. Always use radial ply tires in sets of 
four. Never combine them with other types of 
tires.
