Radial Ply Tires

Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to
handle poorly. The instability could cause a collision. Always use radial ply tires in sets of four.
Never combine them with other types of tires.
Tire Repair
If your tire becomes damaged, it may be repaired if it meets the following criteria:
• The tire has not been driven on when flat.
• The damage is only on the tread section of your tire (sidewall damage is not repairable).
• The puncture is no greater than a 1/4 of an inch (6 mm).
Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire repairs and additional information.
Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires that have experienced a loss of pressure should be
replaced immediately with another Run Flat tire of identical size and service description (Load
Index and Speed Symbol).

Tire Types

All Season Tires — If Equipped
All season tires provide traction for all seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter). Traction levels
may vary between different all season tires. All season tires can be identified by the M+S, M&S,
M/S or MS designation on the tire sidewall. Use all season tires only in sets of four; failure to do
so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires — If Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry conditions, and are not intended to be driven
in snow or on ice. If your vehicle is equipped with Summer tires, be aware these tires are not
designed for Winter or cold driving conditions. Install Winter tires on your vehicle when ambient
temperatures are less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads are covered with ice or snow. For more
information, contact an authorized dealer.
Summer tires do not contain the all season designation or mountain/snowflake symbol on the tire
sidewall. Use Summer tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice conditions. You could lose vehicle control, resulting in
severe injury or death. Driving too fast for conditions also creates the possibility of loss of
vehicle control.
