Damaged Tires
Warning
It is dangerous to mount the
wrong size tire on a wheel. If you
do so, the tire/wheel can explode
as air is being added. This
explosion may result in severe
personal injury or death. For
diesel engines, to learn which
wheels and tires are correct, look
at the "VIN and Weight Rating
Plate" on the left side rear pillar
panel below the striker. For gas
engines, to learn which wheels
and tires are correct, look at the
"Vehicle Certification and
Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
Emissions Plate" on the left side
rear pillar panel below the striker
(single cab) or on the left center
pillar panel beside the shoulder
seat belt anchor (crew cab).
Wheel size is also stamped on
the side of each wheel.

Warning (Continued)
To help avoid personal injury and
property damage if a wheel must
be changed, seek expert tire
services if you can. If you must
remove the wheel without any
such help, do the following:
If the tire looks as if it may
be underinflated, stand to
the side and check whether
the wheel assembly
appears normal by
comparing it to another
wheel assembly on the
vehicle.
Let the air out of the tire by
taking out the valve core.
If you have a way to put air
back in a tire, note that it is
good safety practice to let
the air out of both tires of a
dual assembly before taking
off the damaged tire and rim
assembly from the vehicle.
After letting out the air, take

off the tire and rim assembly
and install a spare tire and
rim assembly.
If your vehicle is equipped
with a differential lock
system or limited slip
differential (LSD), it might
start moving when the
engine power is transmitted
to the rear axle even when
one of the wheels on the
axle is raised clear of the
ground. Do not start the
engine with any rear wheel
in contact with the ground.
If you are not fully
experienced on the
procedures to follow, and/or
are not equipped with the
proper tools and equipment,
again, do not attempt to
raise the vehicle, or remove
or install the tire and wheel
assembly seek expert tire
services.
