Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon
varying factors including but not limited to:
•
Driving style
•
Tire pressure
•
Distance driven
WARNING!
Tires and spare tire should be re-
placed after six years, regardless of
the remaining tread. Failure to follow
this warning can result in sudden tire
failure. You could lose control and
have a collision resulting in serious
injury or death.
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place
with as little exposure to light as possible.
Protect tires from contact with oil, grease,
and gasoline.
Replacement Tires
The tires on your new vehicle provide a
balance of many characteristics. They
should be inspected regularly for wear
and correct cold tire inflation pressure.
The manufacturer strongly recommends
that you use tires equivalent to the origi-
nals in size, quality and performance
when replacement is needed (refer to the
paragraph on “Tread Wear Indicators”).
Refer to the “Tire and Loading Informa-
tion” placard for the size designation of
your tire. The service description and load
identification will be found on the original
equipment tire. Failure to use equivalent
replacement tires may adversely affect the
safety, handling, and ride of your vehicle.
We recommend that you contact your
original equipment or an authorized tire
dealer with any questions you may have
on tire specifications or capability.
