Competition Oriented

Tires

This vehicle may come with 305/
30ZR19 competition oriented tires
that are DOT approved for street
use. Competition oriented tires use
a special tread pattern and
compound that provide more grip
than normal road tires. The
minimum tread depth will be
reached earlier than typical tires,
resulting in reduced tire life. This
special tread pattern and compound
will have decreased performance in
cold climates, heavy rain, and
standing water. We recommend
installing winter tires on the vehicle
when driving at temperatures below
approximately 10°C (50°F) or on ice
or snow covered roads. See Winter
Tires on page 10-56.
Warning
Driving on wet roads, in heavy
rain, or through standing water
with competition oriented tires
may cause hydroplaning and loss
of control. Use extreme caution
and drive slowly on wet roads.
Warning
Driving with competition oriented
tires on snow, ice, or cold road
surfaces can cause loss of control
or an accident. Competition
oriented tires are summer season
tires and are not intended to be

driven on snow, ice, or road
surfaces below 10°C (50°F). Do
not drive a vehicle with
competition oriented tires in these
conditions.
Competition oriented tires have
rubber compounds that lose
flexibility and may develop
surface cracks in the tread area
at temperatures below -7°C (20°
F). Always store competition
oriented tires indoors and at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F)
when not in use. If the tires have
been subjected to -7°C (20°F) or
less, let them warm up in a
heated space to at least 10°C
(50°F) for 24 hours or more
before being installed or driving a
