However, these tires are not suitable
for driving on snow or ice, so all-
season or winter tires must be
installed for winter driving
conditions.
See page
for winter driving
conditions.
Keeping the tires properly inflated
provides the best combination of
handling, tread life, and riding
comfort.
Underinflated tires wear unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel
economy, and are more likely to
fail from being overheated.
Overinflated tires can make your
vehicle ride more harshly, are
more prone to damage from road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
Your vehicle is equipped with high
performance all-season tires
(marked All Season or M
S on the
sidewalls). These tires provide
excellent handling and braking
performance in most driving
situations.
Your vehicle is equipped with high
performance summer tires. These
tires have a high-traction compound
and tread pattern to provide superior
acceleration, cornering, and stopping
under most driving conditions.
To safely operate your vehicle, your
tires must be the proper type and
size, in good condition with adequate
tread, and correctly inflated.
The following pages give more
detailed information about your tires,
how and when to inspect your tires
for damage and wear, and what to do
when your tires need to be replaced.
