Your new vehicle comes with high-quality tires made by a leading tire manufacturer. If you ever have questions about your tire warranty and where to obtain service, see your vehicle Warranty booklet for details. For additional information refer to the tire manufacturer.
Caution: Poorly
maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous.
• Overloading your vehicle's tires can cause overheating
as a result of too much flexing. You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See
Loading the Vehicle
.
• Underinflated tires pose the same danger as overloaded
tires. The resulting accident could cause serious injury. Check all tires frequently
to maintain the recommended pressure. Tire pressure should be checked when your vehicle's
tires are cold. See
Inflation - Tire Pressure
.
• Overinflated tires are more likely to be cut, punctured,
or broken by a sudden impact -- such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure.
• Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the tire's
tread is badly worn, or if your vehicle's tires have been damaged, replace them.
If your vehicle has the optional 20-inch P275/55R20 size tires, they are classified as touring tires and are designed for on road use. The low-profile, wide tread design is not recommended for off-road driving. See Off-Road Driving , for additional information.
