Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation
The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds and within posted speed limits. Where
speed limits or conditions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, main-
taining correct tire inflation pressure is very important. Increased tire pressure and re-
duced vehicle loading may be required for high-speed vehicle operation. Refer to your
authorized tire dealer or original equipment vehicle dealer for recommended safe operat-
ing speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pressures.
High speed driving with your vehicle under maximum load is dangerous. The added
strain on your tires could cause them to fail. You could have a serious collision. Do not
drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph
(120 km/h).
Radial Ply Tires
Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your ve-
hicle 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 repair-
able).
•
The puncture is no greater than a ¼ 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 descrip-
tion (Load Index and Speed Symbol).
