WARNING!
•
Overloading of your tires is dangerous
.
Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance
.
Use tires of the recom-
mended load capacity for your vehicle
.
Never overload them
.
•
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions
.
Under-inflation
increases tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire failure
.
Over-inflation
reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock
.
Objects on the road and chuck holes can
cause damage that results in tire failure
.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering
problems

You could lose control of your vehicle
.
Over-inflated or under-inflated
tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle
control

Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire infla-
tion pressure
