Specifications
• Tire pressures are specified cold and should be checked after the
vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. Do not reduce pressure
of warm tires.
• Check your tire pressure often to maintain it properly. Tire pressure
can diminish over time and fluctuate with temperature.
• Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum vehicle and axle weights are
listed on the tire information placard.
• Extra caution should be taken when operating the vehicle near its
maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing
speeds.
• Extra caution should be taken when operating on rough roads to avoid
impacts that could cause tire damage.
• In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
your tires for damage.
• Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis. If a tire is damaged,
replace it immediately.
• Proper suspension alignment is critical for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven tire wear, have your alignment
checked.
• Rotate tires as recommended in the following section Tire rotation.
• When replacing tires, the only way to maintain original performance is
to use the original equipment tire. If a different tire is used, it should
be the same size, speed rating and load rating and be replaced as a set
of four. Never mix tire brands.
WARNING: For vehicles equipped with performance package
tires (P265/40-19 front, P285/35-20 rear), only replace wheels
and tires with the EXACT original brand, size and construction tire
with which your vehicle was originally equipped. Use of any other
wheel/tire combinations, even with identical size ratings, may result in
insufficient running clearances, tire rubbing and eventual puncture.
Loss of tire pressure could lead to a loss of vehicle control leading to
serious injury or death.
