Tires — General Information
Tire Pressure
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to
the safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle. Four primary areas are affected by
improper tire pressure:

Safety and Vehicle Stability

Economy

Tread Wear

Ride Comfort
Safety
Both under-inflation and over-inflation affect
the stability of the vehicle and can produce
a feeling of sluggish response or over respon
-
siveness in the steering.
NOTE:

Unequal tire pressures from side to side
may cause erratic and unpredictable
steering response.

Unequal tire pressure from side to side
may cause the vehicle to drift left or right.
Fuel Economy
Underinflated tires will increase tire rolling
resistance resulting in higher fuel consump
-
tion.
Tread Wear
Improper cold tire inflation pressures can
cause abnormal wear patterns and reduced
tread life, resulting in the need for earlier tire
replacement.
Ride Comfort And Vehicle Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a comfort -
able ride. Over-inflation produces a jarring
and uncomfortable ride.
Tire Inflation Pressures
The proper cold tire inflation pressure is
listed on the driver's side B-Pillar or rear
edge of the driver's side door.
At least once a month:

Check and adjust tire pressure with a good
quality pocket-type pressure gauge. Do not
make a visual judgement when deter
-
mining proper inflation. Tires may look
properly inflated even when they are
under-inflated.

Inspect tires for signs of tire wear or visible
damage.
WARNING!

Improperly inflated tires are dangerous
and can cause collisions.

Underinflation increases tire flexing and
can result in overheating and tire failure.

Overinflation reduces a tire's ability to
cushion shock. Objects on the road and
chuckholes can cause damage that
result in tire failure.

Overinflated or underinflated tires can
affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle
control.

Unequal tire pressures can cause
steering problems. You could lose
control of your vehicle.

Unequal tire pressures from one side of
the vehicle to the other can cause the
vehicle to drift to the right or left.

Always drive with each tire inflated to the
recommended cold tire inflation pres
-
sure.
