Inflation Pressure
The tire inflation pressures listed
on the tire placard affixed to the
left front door of your vehicle have
been selected to provide you with
the best tire life and riding comfort
over the full range of normal driv-
ing conditions.
The use of improper tire infla-
tion pres suers can affect tire life
and load carrying capacity. Infla-
tion pressures should be checked
at least once a month (and prefer-
ably oftener) to insure that the
right amount of air is contained in
the tires. With regard to tire life,
too little air pressure allows ab-
normal deflection of the tire caus-
ing excessive operating tempera-
tures, while too much air pressure
prevents normal deflection, making
the cord body more vulnerable to
road impacts.
Use of optional inflations is al-
lowable only with a reduced load

operating at loads greater than the
optional reduced load, the inflation
pressure must be increased to the
standard inflation for full rated
loads.
