Factory installed tires and wheels are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to and including the full load capacity when inflated to the recommended tire pressures. Correct tire pressure and correct driving techniques have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornerings, excessively rapid accelerations, and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring system (TPM), required with extended mobility tires (EMT), continuously monitors system components and air pressure in each road tire while the vehicle is being driven. When the vehicle is being driven the system notifies the driver through the digital display message in the instrument cluster of system failure or low tire pressure.
