WHEELS
Your ST vehicle is equipped with unique
wheels matched to the tires. These wheels
are more susceptible to damage due to
their diameter, width and low profile tires.
To avoid damage to your wheels:
•
Maintain proper tire pressure.
•
Exercise caution when using
automated, commercial car washes.
Hand washing or using touchless
commercial car washes without
mechanical tracks is the best way to
avoid potential damage.
•
When installing wheels, always torque
lug nuts to specification with a torque
wrench.
•
Inspect your wheels for damage on a
regular basis. If a wheel is damaged,
replace it immediately.
•
If you encounter an abnormally harsh
impact, inspect the outer diameter of
your wheels, both inside and out, for
damage.

Wheels
Your ST vehicle is equipped with low
profile, high performance tires that are
designed to optimize the driving dynamics
you expect in an ST vehicle. These tires are
not optimized for off-road or winter (snow
or cold weather) performance, and their
ride, noise and wear characteristics are
different than non-performance tires. Also,
because of their lower profile, the tires are
more susceptible to damage due to
potholes and rough roads. To make sure
that your tires perform as intended, it is
important that you maintain your tires
properly:
Note:
Do not use tire chains on the original
wheels and tires of your vehicle. The use of
any type of tire chain on these tires may
damage your vehicle.
•
Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum
vehicle and axle weights are listed on
the tire information placard.
•
Take extra caution when operating the
vehicle near its maximum load,
including assuring proper tire pressure
and reducing speeds.
•
Take extra caution when operating on
rough roads to avoid impacts that
could cause tire damage.
