
Safety
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and

can cause collisions.
Underinflation increases tire flexing and

can result in overheating and tire failure.
Overinflation reduces a tire's ability to

cushion shock. Objects on the road and
chuckholes can cause damage that result
in tire failure.
Overinflated or underinflated tires can

affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle
control.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering

problems. You could lose control of your
vehicle.
Unequal tire pressures from one side of the

vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle
to drift to the right or left.
Always drive with each tire inflated to the

recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
