Tires
Your new vehicle comes with high-quality tires
made by a leading tire manufacturer. If you ever
have questions about your tire warranty and
where to obtain service, see your vehicle
Warranty booklet for details. For additional
information refer to the tire manufacturer.
{
WARNING:
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires
are dangerous.
.
Overloading your vehicle's tires can
cause overheating as a result of too
much flexing. You could have an air-out
and a serious accident. See
Loading the
Vehicle on page 4 ‑ 18 .

WARNING: (Continued)
. Underinflated tires pose the same danger
as overloaded tires. The resulting
accident could cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently to maintain the
recommended pressure. Tire pressure
should be checked when your vehicle's
tires are cold. See
Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5 ‑ 60 .
.
Overinflated tires are more likely to be
cut, punctured, or broken by a sudden
impact
— such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure.
.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents.
If the tire's tread is badly worn, or if your
vehicle's tires have been damaged,
replace them.
