When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or not work properly.

• It is permissible to add 3 psi to the standard tire pressure specification if colder temperatures are expect-
ed soon.
Tires typically loose 1psi (7kPa) for every 12°F temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are
expected, recheck your tire pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.
• An air pressure generally decreases, as you drive up to a high-altitude area above sea level. Thus, if you
plan to drive a high-altitude area, check the tire pressures in advance. If necessary, inflate them to a prop-
er level. (Air inflation per altitude : +2.4 psi/1 mile)
• Tires get higher strain when driving at high speed than under normal condition, and can cause tire failure.
Therefore, if you are driving at sustained high speed (over 100 mile/h or 160 km/h) with 225/40R18 sized
tires, add 5 psi to the standard tire pressure. However, do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure indi-
cated on the tire sidewall.
