Resistance codes (LRR) identify which
tires are certified.
NOTE
The tires installed on this vehicle at the fac-
tory as original equipment may be certified
for Greenhouse Gas and Fuel Efficiency
regulations. Replacement tires must be of
equal or lower rolling resistance level (TRRL
or Crr). Consult with your tire supplier(s) for
appropriate replacement tires.
In order to limit the rolling resistance of the
tires and optimize fuel economy, the
maintenance procedures specified by the
tire manufacture must be followed. Please
see Vehicle Emissions Limited Express
Warranty for warranty on greenhouse gas
certified tires.

Wheels
Information on maintaining your vehicle's
wheels.
After the vehicle travels about 50 to 100
miles (80 to 160 km), wheel mountings
seat in and will lose some initial torque.
Check hub/wheel mountings after this
initial period and retighten. Threads should
be clean and dry. Do not lubricate wheel
nuts or studs.
WARNING!
Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts; im-
proper torque readings will result, which
could cause improper wheel clamping and
could lead to a wheel failure resulting in an
accident. Failure to comply may result in
death, personal injury, equipment or proper-
ty damage.
Wheel Replacement with Disc
Brake Option
WARNING!
Use only the wheel brand, size and part
number originally installed. Use of a differ-
ent wheel brand or size could cause valve
stem to interfere with a brake component
which could lead to loss of vehicle control.
Failure to comply may result in death, per-
sonal injury, equipment or property damage.
Vehicles equipped with front disc brakes
are fitted with wheels designed specifically
for disc brake applications. If it ever
becomes necessary to replace an original
equipment wheel, the replacement wheel
must be the same brand and size as the
take-off wheel. On vehicles equipped with
22.5 in. disc wheels, installing the wrong
replacement wheel could result in the
wheel valve stem making contact with the
disc brake assembly. When installing any
replacement wheel, always inspect the
tires/wheels to ensure there is adequate
clearance between other vehicle
components. With the hood open, check
for clearance between the wheel and disc
brake assembly. Use a hydraulic jack to
raise the front of the vehicle off the ground
to allow the wheel to spin freely. While
rotating the wheel, check to ensure there is
adequate clearance between the wheel
and disc brake assembly.
