Check tire inflation pressure regularly when
the tires are cold and always maintain the
prescribed tire pressure. Low tire pressure
can cause tires to get too hot, resulting in
tread separation, sudden loss of pressure,
and blowouts. Tires with excessively low
pressure flex (bend) more, which can
cause the tire to overheat and fail suddenly
without warning.
Check tires regularly for wear and damage.
Never drive with worn or damaged tires (for
example, tires with punctures, cuts, cracks,
blisters, or bumps). Driving with worn or
damaged tires can lead to loss of vehicle
control, sudden tire failure including
blowouts and sudden deflation, crashes,
and serious personal injuries.
Have worn or damaged tires replaced
immediately.
