originals in size, quality and performance when
replacement is needed. (Refer to the paragraph
on “Tread Wear Indicators”). Refer to the “Tire
and Loading Information” placard for the size
designation of your tire. The Load Index and
Speed Symbol for your tire will be found on the
original equipment tire sidewall. See the Tire
Sizing Chart example found in the Tire Safety
Information section of this manual for more
information relating to the Load Index and
Speed Symbol of a tire.
It is recommended to replace the two front tires
or two rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire
can seriously affect your vehicle’s handling. If
you ever replace a wheel, make sure that the
wheel’s specifications match those of the origi-
nal wheels.
It is recommended you contact your original
equipment or an authorized tire dealer with any
questions you may have on tire specifications or
capability. Failure to use equivalent replace-
ment tires may adversely affect the safety,
handling, and ride of your vehicle.
WARNING!
•
Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other
than that specified for your vehicle. Some
combinations of unapproved tires and
wheels may change suspension dimen-
sions and performance characteristics, re-
sulting in changes to steering, handling,
and braking of your vehicle. This can
cause unpredictable handling and stress
to steering and suspension components.
You could lose control and have a collision
resulting in serious injury or death. Use
only the tire and wheel sizes with load
ratings approved for your vehicle.
•
Never use a tire with a smaller load index
or capacity, other than what was originally
equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with
a smaller load index could result in tire
overloading and failure. You could lose
control and have a collision.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
Failure to equip your vehicle with tires
having adequate speed capability can re-
sult in sudden tire failure and loss of ve-
hicle control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a differ-
ent size may result in false speedometer and
odometer readings.
TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains may be installed on all models
except the Sahara and Rubicon. Install chains
on rear tires only. Follow these recommenda-
tions to guard against damage and excessive
tire and chain wear:
•
Use chains on 235/65R17 104H rear tires
only.
•
Use SAE class “S” tire chains or traction
devices only.
