11.2.5 Life of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon various factors including but not limited
to;
• Driving style
• Tire pressure
• Distance driven
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the
remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden and
unexpected tire failure, leading to an accident and/or personal injury.
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as
possible. Protect tires from contact with oil, grease and fuels.
Do not use a tire, wheel size or speed rating other than that specified for your
vehicle on the tire placard. Combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may
change suspension geometric and performance characteristics, resulting in
changes to steering, handling and braking of your vehicle. This can cause
unpredictable handling, stress to steering and suspension components. You
could lose control of the vehicle or the tire can unexpectedly fail, resulting in an
accident and/or personal injury.
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false
speedometer and odometer readings.
11.2.6 Snow Chains
Snow chains cannot be used on these tires.
In case of harsh winter driving conditions, it is recommended using winter tires
with the same specifications for better stability, safety and performance.
11.3 Tire Rotation Recommendations
Type 1 - Applicable for all 5 Steel / 5 Alloy wheels
V
W12L09
Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at different loads and perform
different steering, handling, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates and develop irregular wear patterns.
Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels,
and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride. Follow the recommended tire rotation
frequency for your type of driving.
