How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type
gauge to check tire pressure.
Proper tire inflation cannot be
determined by looking at the tire.
Check the tire inflation pressure
when the tires are cold, meaning
the vehicle has not been driven
for at least three hours or no
more than 1.6 km (1 mi).
Remove the valve cap from the
tire valve stem. Press the tire
gauge firmly onto the valve to
get a pressure measurement.
If the cold tire inflation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label, no
further adjustment is necessary.
If the inflation pressure is low,
add air until the recommended
pressure is reached. If the
inflation pressure is high, press
on the metal stem in the center
of the tire valve to release air.
Recheck the tire pressure with
the tire gauge.
Return the valve caps on the
valve stems to prevent leaks
and keep out dirt and moisture.
Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
Warning
Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher, puts an
additional strain on tires.
Sustained high-speed driving
causes excessive heat buildup
and can cause sudden tire failure.
You could have a crash and you
or others could be killed. Some
high-speed rated tires require
inflation pressure adjustment for
high-speed operation. When
speed limits and road conditions
are such that a vehicle can be
driven at high speeds, make sure
Warning (Continued)
the tires are rated for high-speed
operation, in excellent condition,
and set to the correct cold tire
inflation pressure for the
vehicle load.

P245/50ZR19 104W, 275/
40ZR20 106Y, 285/35ZR20 (100Y),
and 305/35ZR20 (104Y) size tires,
have tires capable of high
speed use.
Make sure vehicles with 245/
45ZR20 103Y, P245/50ZR19 104W
and 275/40ZR20 106Y size tires are
inflated to the recommended cold
inflation pressures before operating
the vehicle at speeds over 160 km/h
(100 mph). See Vehicle Load Limits
on page 9-14 and Tire Pressure on
page 10-64.
Make sure vehicles with 285/
