2. Summer tires

Summer tires are high−speed capabil-

ity tires best suited to highway driving

under dry conditions.

Since summer tires do not have the

same traction performance as snow

tires, summer tires are inadequate for

driving on snow−covered or icy roads.

For driving on snow−covered or icy

roads, we recommend using snow

tires. If installing snow tires, be sure

to replace all four tires.

The details about how to distinguish

summer tires from all season tires are

described on page 332.

D Do not mix summer and all sea-

son tires on your vehicle as

this can cause dangerous han-

dling characteristics, resulting

in loss of control.

D Do not use tire other than the

manufacturer's

tires, and never mix tires or

wheels of the sizes different

from the originally equipped

tires and wheels.
