TIRES

Air pressure

Maintaining the correct tire pressure is important to the safe operation of the vehicle as well as 
ensuring long tread life.

Under inflated tires result in:

•  Excessive tire side wall flexing that can result in sudden tire failure.
• 

Excessive tread wear resulting in shortened tire life.

Over inflated tires result in:

• 

Tire explosion due to excessive pressure.

• 

Reduced road surface traction.

• 

Increased vibration from the road surface.

• 

Premature tread wear.

Unequal tire inflation may result in:

• 

Uneven braking and loss of control of the vehicle.

• 

Steering pulling to the left or right.

Only check the tire pressure when the tire is cold. When checking tire pressure, you must check 
all tires including your spare tire.

The correct tire size and pressure can be found in the specifications list in the manual. The tire 

pressure shall only be adjusted when cold (i.e., “cold” is defined as the tires’ internal temperature 

matches the ambient temperature before the vehicle has been driven).  Note:  The front and rear 

tires may have a different tire pressure specification. 

Note:  The front and rear tires may have a different tire pressure specification.

Tire Tread Wear

It is important to periodically inspect the tread on each tire for wear. Driving 
with inadequate tread increases the risk of losing control of the vehicle due to hydroplaning on a 

wet road surface. It also increases the risk of a flat tire due to road 

debris. Extreme tire wear can result in sudden tire failure and loss of 
control of the vehicle.

Refer to the maintenance schedule in this manual for the recommended 
tire inspection interval.

Minimum recommended tread depth is 1/16 inch (1.5 mm). There are 
a series of tread depth wear indicators around the circumference of 
the tire. They will appear as 1/2 inch (13 mm) bands across the tread as the tire approaches its 
wear limit (see illustration). The tire should be replaced if any tread depth indicator can be seen or 
any part of the tread depth is 1/16 inch or less.

Incorrect tire inflation can result in sudden failure of the tire and/or braking / steering 

problems leading to loss of control of the vehicle.

Never exceed the maximum pressure as indicated on the side wall of the tire. Exceeding the 
maximum pressure may cause explosive failure of the tire resulting in severe bodily injury.

WARNING

DO NOT operate a vehicle if the cord is visible on any tire (see 
illustration). A tire in this condition may suddenly fail at any 
time resulting in loss of control of the vehicle.
