WARNING!
•
Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that
specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unap-
proved tires and wheels may change suspension dimen-
sions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes
to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle. This can
cause unpredictable handling and stress to steering and
suspension components. You could lose control and have
an accident resulting in serious injury or death. Use only
the tire and wheel sizes with load ratings approved for your
vehicle.
•
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 over-
loading and failure. You could lose control and have an
accident.
•
Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having adequate
speed capability can result in sudden tire failure and loss of
vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size
may result in false speedometer and odometer read-
ings.
Alignment And Balance
Poor suspension alignment may result in:
•
Fast tire wear.
•
Uneven tire wear, such as feathering and one-sided
wear.
•
Vehicle pull to right or left.
Tires may also cause the vehicle to pull to the left or right.
Alignment will not correct this condition. See your dealer
for proper diagnosis.
