The correct cold tire pressures are:
Front: 32 psi (2.2 kg/cm

Compact spare -
60 psi (4.15 kg/cm
TIRE INFORMATION LABEL
These pressures are also given on
the tire information label on the
driver's door jamb. Remember to
check the pressure in the spare tire
at the same time. You should get
your own tire pressure gauge and use
it at all times. That makes it easier for

Keeping the tires properly inflated
provides you with the best combina-
tion of riding comfort, handling and
tread life. Underinflated tires wear
unevenly, reduce you car's handling,
and are more likely to fail because of
higher temperatures. Overinflated
tires make your car ride more
harshly, are more prone to damage
from road hazards, and wear un-
evenly.
Inspection
Every time you check inflation, you
should also examine the tires for
damage, foreign objects, and wear.
You should look for:
Bumps or bulges in the tread or
side of the tire. Replace the tire if
you find either of these conditions.
Cuts, splits, or cracks in the side of
the tire. Replace the tire if you can
see fabric or cord.
Excessive tread wear.
