WARNING
D When replacing a tire, make sure you use only the same size,
circumference, construction brand, and load range as the original
tires listed on the tire placard. Using other sizes, circumferences
or construction may result in severe mechanical damage to the
drive train of your vehicle and may affect ride, handling, braking,
speedometer/odometer calibration, and clearance between the
body and tires. It also may be dangerous and lead to loss of ve-
