WARNING
Replacing tires
To reduce the chance or serious
or fatal injuries from an accident
caused by tire failure or loss of
vehicle control:
•
Replace tires that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are dam-
aged. Worn tires can cause loss
of braking effectiveness, steer-
ing control, and traction.
•
Do not drive your vehicle with
too little or too much pressure in
your tires. This can lead to
uneven wear and tire failure.
•
When replacing tires, never mix
radial and bias-ply tires on the
same car. You must replace all
tires (including the spare) if mov-
ing from radial to bias-ply tires.

teristics and poor vehicle con-
trol, resulting in a serious acci-
dent.
•

replacing
tires
wheels), it is recommended to
replace the two front or two rear
tires (or wheels) as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seri-
ously affect your vehicle's han-

the speed of the wheels. Tire
size can affect wheel speed.
When replacing tires, all 4 tires
must use the same size original-
ly supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can
cause the ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) and ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) to work irregu-
larly. (if equipped)

any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.

bearing life, braking and stopping
abilities, handling characteristics,
ground clearance, body-to-tire
clearance, snow chain clearance,
speedometer and odometer cali-
bration, headlight aim and bumper
