STARTING AND OPERATING
reduce this normal pressure buildup or
your tire pressure will be too low.
Tire Pressures For High-Speed
Operation
The manufacturer advocates driving at
safe speeds within posted speed limits.
Where speed limits or conditions are such
that the vehicle can be driven at high
speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation
pressure is very important. Increased tire
pressure and reduced vehicle loading
may be required for high-speed vehicle
operation. Refer to original-equipment in-
formation, or an authorized tire dealer, for
recommended safe operating speeds,
loading and cold tire inflation pressures.

WARNING!
High-speed driving, with your vehicle
at or above maximum load, is dan-
gerous. 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

WARNING!
Combining radial ply tires with other
types of tires on your vehicle will
cause your vehicle to handle poorly.
The instability could cause a colli-
sion. Always use radial ply tires in
sets of four. Never combine them
with other types of tires.
Cuts and punctures in radial tires are
repairable only in the tread area because
of sidewall flexing. Consult your autho-
rized tire dealer for radial tire repairs.
