WARNING!
sizes with load ratings approved for your ve-
hicle.
• Never use a tire with a smaller load index or
capacity, other than what was originally
equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with a
smaller load index could result in tire overload-
ing and failure. You could lose control and
have a collision.
• Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having
adequate speed capability can result in sud-
den tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different
size may result in false speedometer and odom-
eter readings.
Tire Types
All Season Tires — If Equipped
All Season tires provide traction for all seasons
(Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter). Traction levels
may vary between different all season tires. All sea-
son tires can be identified by the M+S, M&S, M/S or
MS designation on the tire sidewall. Use all season
tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may ad-
versely affect the safety and handling of your ve-
hicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires —
If Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry
conditions, and are not intended to be driven in
snow or on ice. If your vehicle is equipped with
Summer tires, be aware these tires are not designed
for Winter or cold driving conditions. Install Winter
tires on your vehicle when ambient temperatures
are less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads are covered with
ice or snow. For more information, contact an au-
thorized dealer.
Summer tires do not contain the all season designa-
tion or mountain/snowflake symbol on the tire side-
wall. Use Summer tires only in sets of four; failure to
do so may adversely affect the safety and handling
of your vehicle.
WARNING!
Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice conditions.
You could lose vehicle control, resulting in severe

injury or death. Driving too fast for conditions
also creates the possibility of loss of vehicle con-
trol.
Snow Tires
Some areas of the country require the use of snow
tires during the Winter. Snow tires can be identified
by a “mountain/snowflake” symbol on the tire side-
wall.
If you need snow tires, se-
lect tires equivalent in size
and type to the original
equipment
tires.
Use
snow tires only in sets of
four; failure to do so may
adversely affect the safety
and handling of your ve-
hicle.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than
what was originally equipped with your vehicle and
should not be operated at sustained speeds over
75 mph (120 km/h). For speeds above 75 mph
