Tires
The factory-installed tires on your car were selected to provide
the best performance fo r normal driving.
Inflation Pressures
The tire label on the left side of
the instrument panel shows re­
commended tire pressures for
carrying loads up to the limit
shown.
These pressures were chosen to provide you with the best com­
bination of tread life, riding com fort and stability under normal
driving conditions.
Improper inflation can reduce both tire life and load carrying
capacity. Check the tire pressures at least once a month.
Lower pressure than recommended lets the tread and sidewalls
flex too much, causing increased tire temperatures, uneven wear,
and poor handling. Pressure higher than recommended can make
the tire too stiff, increasing the chance of damage from road
hazards, and also causing uneven wear.
CAUTIO N:
• Check tire pressure when the tires are cold.
(After the car has been parked for more than 3 hours or driven
less than 1 mile/1.6 km.)
• Tire pressure may increase as much as 41 kPa (6 psi) when the
tire is hot, so NEVER ADJUST tire pressure when the tires are
hot.
• Never inflate load range B tires to more than 220 kPa (32 psi)
cold.
• Cars with luggage racks or cartop carriers DO NOT have greater
load limits than those on the label.
Snow Tires
If you use snow tires, they should have the same load capacity as
the original equipment tires, and they must be installed in sets of
four, or they may cause poor handling. Cars with snow tires should
not be driven faster than 75 mph (120 km/h).
