TIRES

DESCRIPTION

TIRE

Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the

best overall performance for normal operation. The ride and handling

characteristics match the vehicle's requirements. With proper care they will give

excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread life.

Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful drivers

will obtain, in most cases, much greater mileage than severe use or careless

drivers. A few of the driving habits which will shorten the life of any tire are:

Rapid acceleration

Severe application of brakes

High-speed driving

Taking turns at excessive speeds

Striking curbs and other obstacles

Operating vehicle with over or under inflated tire pressures

Radial ply tires are more prone to irregular tread wear. It is important to follow

the tire rotation interval shown in this Service Information on Tire Rotation. This

will help to achieve a greater tread-life potential.
