A tire performance criteria (TPC) specification number is molded in the sidewall near the tire size of all original equipment tires. This specification number assures that the tire meets performance standards for traction, endurance, dimensions, noise, handling, and rolling resistance. Usually a specific TPC number is assigned to each tire size.
Caution: Mixing tires could cause you to lose control while driving. If you mix tires of different sizes (other than those originally installed on your vehicle), brands, or types (radial and bias-belted tires), the vehicle may not handle properly, and you could have a crash. Using tires of different sizes (other than those originally installed on your vehicle), brands or types, may also cause damage to your vehicle. Be sure to use the correct size, brand, and type tires on all four wheels.
Use only replacement tires with the same size, load range, and construction as the original. The use of any other tire size or construction type may seriously affect ride, handling, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle ground clearance, and tire clearance to the body and the chassis. This does not apply to the spare tire furnished with the vehicle.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on the same axle.
If it is necessary to replace only 1 tire, pair it with the tire having the most tread to equalize the braking action.
Although they may appear different in tread design, tires built by different manufacturers with identical TPC specifications may be used on the same vehicle.
This vehicle comes with a full-sized spare tire and wheel.
