Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire's sidewall). Using tires
of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems to work
incorrectly. It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn't possible,
replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel's specifi cations match
those of the original wheels. Only use TPMS-specifi ed wheels approved for your
vehicle.
Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability.
This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the Owner's Manual.

WARNING
Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, infl ation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and infl ation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach
fi ve years old. All tires, including the spare*, should be removed from service after
10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of
wear.
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked "M+S", snow
tires, or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain suffi cient distance between
vehicles when driving. For winter tires, select the size and load ranges that are the
same as the original tires, and mount them to all four wheels.
Tire Chains
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited tire
clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains:
For P195/65R15 tires:
Cable-type: SCC Radial Chain SC1030
For P205/55R16 or P215/45R17 tires:
Cable-type: SCC Radial Chain SC1032
For P225/40R18 or 225/40R18 tires:
These tires are not suitable for mounting any traction device.
Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch the
brake lines or suspension.
NOTICE
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can damage your
vehicle's brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting
any part of the vehicle.
WARNING
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the
brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of tire
chains.
