to lose control while driving.
If you mix tires of different
sizes, brands, or types (radial
and bias-belted tires), the

WARNING (Continued)
a crash. Using tires of different
sizes, brands, or types may
also cause damage to the
vehicle. Be sure to use the
correct size, brand, and type
of tires on all wheels. It is all
right to drive with the compact
spare temporarily, as it was
developed for use on the
vehicle. See
Compact Spare
Tire on page 10 ‑ 79 .

WARNING
Using bias-ply tires on the
vehicle may cause the wheel
rim flanges to develop cracks
after many miles of driving.
A tire and/or wheel could fail
suddenly and cause a crash.
Use only radial-ply tires with
the wheels on the vehicle.
If you must replace the vehicle's
tires with those that do not have
a TPC Spec number, make sure
they are the same size, load
range, speed rating, and
construction type (radial and
bias
‐ belted tires) as the vehicle's
original tires.
Vehicles that have a tire
pressure monitoring system
could give an inaccurate
low
‐ pressure warning if non ‐ TPC
Spec rated tires are installed on
the 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 10
