General information
General information about wheels and tires
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the tire information label on the inside of the fuel filler
door. All tires have a dimension designation. The following is an example of a tire designation:
225/70R16.
225 section width (mm)
70 relationship between section height and width
R radial tire
16 wheel rim diameter (inches)
The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It
should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/ice-free
surfaces.
Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree of
road holding on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating.
