Tire traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you drive
on worn tires, tires that are improperly
inflated or on slippery road surfaces.
Tires should be replaced when tread
wear indicators appear. Slow down
whenever there is rain, snow or ice on
the road, to reduce the possibility of los-
ing control.

Tire maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease tire
wear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly,
have your dealer check the wheel align-
ment.
When you have new tires installed, make
sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tire life.
Additionally, a tire should always be
rebalanced if it is removed from the
wheel.
