STARTING AND OPERATING

Life Of Tire

The service life of a tire is dependent upon
varying factors, including, but not limited
to:
• Driving style
• Tire pressure
• Distance driven
The tires and the spare tire should be
replaced after six years, regardless
of the remaining tread. Failure to fol-
low this warning can result in sudden
tire failure. You could lose control
and have a collision resulting in seri-
ous injury or death.

Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place
with as little exposure to light as possible.
Protect tires from contact with oil, grease
and gasoline.

Replacement Tires

The tires on your new vehicle provide a
balance of many characteristics. They
should be inspected regularly for wear
and correct cold tire inflation pressure.
The manufacturer strongly recommends
WARNING!
that you use tires equivalent to the origi-
nals in size, quality and performance
when replacement is needed. Please see
"Tread Wear Indicators" and "Tire and
Loading Information" placard for the size
designation of your tire. The service de-
scription and load identification will be
found on the original-equipment tire. Fail-
ure to use equivalent replacement tires
may adversely affect the safety, handling,
and ride of your vehicle. We recommend
that you contact your original-equipment
manufacturer, or an authorized tire dealer,
with any questions you may have on tire
specifications or capability.
