Tires
Inflation
Keeping the tires properly inflated
provides the best combination of
handling, tread life and riding
comfort. Underinflated tires wear
unevenly, adversely affect handling
and fuel economy, and are more
likely to fail from being overheated.
Overinflated tires can make your
car ride more harshly, are more
prone to damage from road hazards,
and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually
check your tires every day and use
a gauge to measure the air pressure
at least once a month. If you think
a tire might be low, check it
immediately. Remember to check
the spare tire at the same time you
check all the other tires.
Check the pressure in the tires
when they are cold. This means the
car has been parked for at least
three hours. If you have to drive
Maintenance
the car before checking the tire
pressure, the tires can still be
considered "cold" if you drive less
than 1.6 km (1 mile).
If you check the pressure when the
tires are hot (the car has been
driven several miles), you will see
readings 28 to 41 kPa (0.3 to 0.4
2
kg/cm , 4 to 6 psi) higher than the
cold reading. This is normal. Do not
let air out to match the specified
cold pressure. The tire will be
underinflated.
Recommended Tire Pressures
for Normal Driving
The following chart shows the
recommended cold tire pressures
for most normal driving conditions
and speeds. Tire pressures for high
speed driving are shown on page
216.
The compact spare tire pressure is:
2
415 kPa (4.15 kg/cm , 60 psi)
The pressures are also given on the
tire information label on the driver's
door jamb.
