and wet road performance. This
special tread and compound will have
decreased performance in cold
climates, and on ice and snow. It is
recommended that winter tires be
installed on the vehicle if frequent
driving at temperatures below
approximately 5 °C (40 °F) or on ice or
snow covered roads is expected. See
Winter Tires 0 257.
Caution
High performance summer tires
have rubber compounds that lose
flexibility and may develop surface
cracks in the tread area at
temperatures below 7 °C (20 °F).
Always store high performance
summer tires indoors and at
temperatures above 7 °C (20 °F)
when not in use. If the tires have
been subjected to 7 °C (20 °F) or
less, let them warm up in a heated
space to at least 5 °C (40 °F) for
24 hours or more before being
installed or driving a vehicle on
which they are installed. Do not

Tire Pressure

Tires need the correct amount of
air pressure to operate effectively.
Warning
Neither tire underinflation nor
overinflation is good.
Underinflated tires, or tires that
do not have enough air, can
result in:
Tire overloading and
overheating which could
lead to a blowout.
Premature or
irregular wear.
Poor handling.
Warning (Continued)
Reduced fuel economy.
Overinflated tires, or tires that
have too much air, can result in:
Unusual wear.
Poor handling.
Rough ride.
Needless damage from
road hazards.
The Tire and Loading Information
label on the vehicle indicates the
original equipment tires and the
correct cold tire inflation
pressures. The recommended
pressure is the minimum air
pressure needed to support the
vehicle's maximum load carrying
capacity. See Vehicle Load Limits
