Maintenance
Replacing Tyres and Wheels
Replace your tyres with radial tyres
of the same size, load range, speed
rating, and maximum cold tyre
pressure rating (as shown on the
tyre's sidewall).
Mixing radial and bias-ply tyres on
your vehicle can reduce braking
ability, traction, and steering
accuracy. Using tyres of a different
size or construction can cause the
ABS and vehicle stability assist
system (VSA) to work inconsistently.
The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. When replacing
tyres, use the same size originally
supplied with the vehicle. Tyre size
and construction can affect wheel
speed and may cause the system to
work.
It is best to replace all four tyres at
the same time. If that is not possible
or necessary, replace the two front
tyres or two rear tyres as a pair.
Replacing just one tyre can seriously
affect your vehicle's handling.
If you ever replace a wheel, make
sure that the wheel's specifications
match those of the original wheels.
Consult your dealer before replacing
tyres.
Replacement wheels are available at
your dealer.
