CAUTION:
Mixing tires could cause you to lose control
while driving. If you mix tires of different sizes,
brands, or types (radial and bias-belted tires),
the vehicle may not handle properly, and you
could have a crash. Using tires of different
sizes, brands, or types may also cause
damage to your vehicle. Be sure to use the
correct size, brand, and type of tires on all
wheels. It is all right to drive with your compact
spare temporarily, as it was developed for use
on your vehicle. See Compact Spare Tire on
page 5-78.
{
CAUTION:
If you use bias-ply tires on the vehicle,
the wheel rim flanges could develop cracks
after many miles of driving. A tire and/or
wheel could fail suddenly, causing a crash.
Use only radial-ply tires with the wheels on
the vehicle.
Vehicles that have a tire pressure monitoring system
could give an inaccurate low-pressure warning if tires
not recommended for your vehicle are installed. Tires
that do not match the original equipment tires could
give a low-pressure warning that is higher or lower
than the proper warning level you would get with original
equipment tires. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on
page 5-58.
Your vehicle’s original equipment tires are listed on
the Tire and Loading Information Label. See Loading
the Vehicle on page 4-18, for more information about
the Tire and Loading Information label and its location
on your vehicle.
