Tire maintenance

In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps decrease tire
wear. If you find a tire worn unevenly,
have your dealer check the wheel align-
ment.
When you have new tires installed, make
sure they are balanced. This will increase
vehicle ride comfort and tire life. Addi-
tionally, a tire should always be rebal-
anced if it is removed from the wheel.
