on tires are specific to each vehicle and
may vary from data shown in above illus-
tration.

weight the tires are designed to support.

Maximum tire inflation pressure
G Warning!
Never exceed the maximum tire inflation
pressure. Follow recommended tire infla-
tion pressures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated
tires wear excessively and/or unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel econ-
omy, and are more likely to fail from being
overheated.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires
can adversely affect handling and ride com-
fort, wear unevenly, increase stopping dis-
tance, and result in sudden deflation
(blowout) because they are more likely to
become punctured or damaged by road
debris, potholes etc.
