1. The number of people your vehicle can carry.
2. The total weight your vehicle can carry. Do not exceed this weight.
3. The original tire sizes for front, rear, and spare.
4. The proper cold tire pressure for front, rear, and spare.
Tire and Wheel Replacement
n
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating,
and maximum cold tires pressure rating (as shown on the tires' sidewall).
Using tires of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle
systems to work incorrectly. It is best to replace all four tires at the same
time. If that isn't possible, replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel's specifications
match those of the original wheels. Only use TPMS-specified wheels
approved for your vehicle.
Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability.
This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the Owner's
Manual.
Tire Service Life
n
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits,
road conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history,
speed, and environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires
reach five years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from
service after 10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their
condition or state of wear.

Winter Tires
n
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked "M+S",
snow tires, or tire chains; reduce speed and maintain sufficient distance
between vehicles when driving. For winter tires, select the size and load
ranges that are the same as the original tires, and mount them to all four
wheels.
Tire Chains
n
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited
tire clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains:
Models with 215/55R17 tires: Cable type: SCC Radial Chain SC1036
Models with 225/50R18 tires: Not recommended to use any type of chains
Mount chains as tightly as you can and make sure that they do not touch the
brake lines or suspension.
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can damage
your vehicle's brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they
are hitting any part of the vehicle.
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the
brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or
killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of tire
chains.

The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you
