Page 17: Tire Care
Tire Care Checking Tire Pressure note: Underinflated tires can decrease handling, stopping performance, traction, tire life, and load-carrying capability, in addition to causing other negative and hazardous effects, including tire failure. Overinflated tires are at greater risk of an impact break, where the tread and casing break when striking a hard edge, often opening a huge gash across the tread. -
Page 18: Tire Size
Check all the tires to make sure they have the same air pressure. If the tires’ pressure was not measured “cold”, then the pressure should be rechecked with the tires cold as soon as possible. Tire size To maintain safety, only purchase new tires of the same size as the original tires. Look at the Tire and Loading Information Placard, the Specifications Chart in this manual, or the sidewall of the tire being replaced. -
