The use of tires smaller than the minimum tire size approved for the vehicle can
result in tire overloading and failure.
Use tires that have the approved load rating for the vehicle and never overload
them. Failure to equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can
result in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
The use of oversize tires may cause interference with vehicle components. Under
extremes of suspension and steering travel, interference with vehicle components
may cause tire damage.
