Wheels
As standard, your ST vehicle is equipped
with low profile, high performance tires
that are designed to optimize the driving
dynamics you expect in a ST vehicle. These
tires are not optimized for off-road or
winter (snow or cold weather)
performance, and the ride, noise and wear
characteristics are different than
non-performance tires. Also, because of
their lower profile, the tires are more
susceptible to damage due to potholes
and rough roads. To make sure that your
tires perform as intended, it is important
that you maintain your tires properly:
Note: Do not use tire chains on the original
wheels and tires of your vehicle. The use of
any type of tire chain on these tires may
damage your vehicle.
• Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum
vehicle and axle weights are listed on
the tire information placard.
• Take extra caution when operating the
vehicle near its maximum load,
including assuring proper tire pressure
and reducing speeds.
• Take extra caution when operating on
rough roads to avoid impacts that
could cause tire damage.
• If you encounter an abnormally harsh
impact, inspect your tires for damage.

Inspect your tires for damage on a
regular basis. If a tire is damaged,
replace it immediately.
Proper suspension alignment is critical
for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven
tire wear, have your alignment checked.
When replacing tires, the only way to
maintain original performance is to use
the original equipment tire. If a different
summer tire is used, it should be the
same size, speed rating and load rating
as the originally equipped tire. Replace
tires as a set of four. Never mix tire
brands or models.
For tire pressures, see the placard
located on the B-pillar inside the
driver's door.
Always maintain your tire pressures
according to the tire information
placard on the driver's door jamb, using
an accurate gauge.
