WARNING:
Mixing tires could cause you to lose control of
your vehicle while driving. If you mix tires of
different sizes, brands, or types (radial and
bias-belted tires) the vehicle may not handle
properly, and you could have a crash. Using tires
of different sizes, brands, or types may also cause
damage to your vehicle. Be sure to use the
correct size, brand, and type of tires on all wheels.
Your vehicle may have a compact spare tire and
wheel assembly. It is all right to drive with your
vehicle's compact spare tire temporarily. It was

only radial-ply tires with the wheels on the

construction type (radial and bias

could give an inaccurate low
‐ pressure warning if
non ‐ TPC Spec rated tires are installed on your vehicle.
Non ‐ TPC Spec rated tires may give a low ‐ pressure
warning that is higher or lower than the proper warning
level you would get with TPC Spec rated tires. See
Tire
Pressure Monitor System on page 6 ‑ 65 .
Your vehicle's original equipment tires are listed on the
Tire and Loading Information Label. See

Vehicle on page 5 ‑ 31 , for more information about the
