Due to their design, low-profile
tires and wheels are more prone
to road damage from potholes,
rough or unpaved roads, car wash
rails and curb contact than
standard tires and wheels.
Note: Your vehicle's warranty does
not cover these types of damages.
Extra caution should be taken
when operating on rough roads to
avoid impacts that could cause
wheel and tire damage.
Important Information About
Sport Tires and Wheels
Vehicles equipped with the
optional 265/40R21 tires are
designed to enhance
performance. To continue
providing this performance, extra
care must be taken when
operating and maintaining your
vehicle.
These low-profile
high-performance tires are
designed to optimize the driving
dynamics you expect in a sport
vehicle in both dry and wet
conditions. These tires are not
optimized for off-road or winter
(snow or cold weather)
performance; and their ride, noise,
and wear characteristics are
different than non-performance
tires. With low-profile tires, you
may notice an increase in road
noise and faster wear, depending
on road conditions and driving
Edge/Galaxy/S-MAX (CDQ), enUSA, First Printing

habits. Also, because of their
lower profile, the tires are more
susceptible to road damage from
potholes, rough or unpaved roads,
car wash rails, and curb contact
than standard tires and wheels.
Note: Your vehicle s warranty does
not cover these types of damages.
Extra caution should be taken
when operating on rough roads to
avoid impacts that could cause
wheel and tire damage.
The optional 265/40R21 tires were
designed for track use and may
exhibit significantly reduced tread
life and increased tire noise
compared to the standard
equipment tires under normal
driving conditions. Increasing the
front camber settings beyond the
factory settings may further
accelerate tread wear and induce
tire noise.
Note: Do not use tire chains on
your vehicle s optional 265/40R21
tires and wheels. The use of any
type of tire chain on these tires may
damage your vehicle. See Using
Snow Chains (page 311).
