Tires
The factory-installed tires on your car were selected to provide
the best performance for normal driving.
Inflation Pressures
The tire label on the driver's
door jamb shows recommend-
ed tire pressures for carrying
loads up to the limit shown.
These pressures were chosen
to provide you with the best
combination of tread life, riding
comfort
and
normal driving conditions.
Improper inflation can reduce
both tire life and load carrying
capacity. Check the tire pressures at least once a month, in-
cluding the spare.
Lower pressure than recommended lets the tread and
sidewalls flex too much, causing increased tire temperatures,
uneven wear, and poor handling. Pressure higher than recom-
mended can make the tire too stiff, increasing the chance of
damage from road hazards, and also causing uneven wear.
CAUTION:
Check tire pressure when the tires are cold.
(After the car has been parked for more than 3 hours or
driven less than 1 mile/1.6 km).
Tire pressure may increase as much as 41 kPa (6 psi) when
the tire is hot, so NEVER ADJUST tire pressure when the
tires are hot.
Never inflate load range B tires to more than 220 kPa (32
psi) cold.
Cars with luggage racks or cartop carriers DO NOT have
greater load limits than those on the label.
Snow Tires
If you use snow tires, they should have the same load capacity
as the original equipment tires, and they must be installed in
sets of four, or they may cause poor handling. Cars with snow
tires should not be driven faster than 75 mph (120 km/h).
