Tires — General Information
Tire Pressure
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the
safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle.
Four primary areas are affected by improper tire
pressure:
Safety

Fuel Economy

Tread Wear

Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability

Safety
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and

can cause collisions.
Underinflation increases tire flexing and

can result in overheating and tire failure.
Overinflation reduces a tire's ability to

cushion shock. Objects on the road and
chuckholes can cause damage that result
in tire failure.
WARNING! (Continued)
Overinflated or underinflated tires can

affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle
control.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering

problems. You could lose control of your
vehicle.
Unequal tire pressures from one side of the

vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle
to drift to the right or left.
Always drive with each tire inflated to the

recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
Both underinflation and overinflation affect the
stability of the vehicle and can produce a feeling
of sluggish response or over responsiveness in
the steering.
NOTE:
Unequal tire pressures from side to side may

cause erratic and unpredictable steering
response.

Unequal tire pressure from side to side may

cause the vehicle to drift left or right.
