The valve stems on your extended mobility tires
have sensors that are part of the Tire Pressure
Monitor (TPM). See Tire Pressure Monitor Operation
(Except Z06) on page 5-64. The TPM sensors contain
batteries which are designed to last for 10 years
under normal driving conditions. See your dealer if you
ever need to have a wheel replaced, or if the sensors
ever need replacement.
Notice: Using liquid sealants can damage the tire
valves and tire pressure monitor sensors in your
extended mobility tires. This damage would not be
covered by warranty. Don’t use liquid sealants
in your extended mobility tires.
If you feel that winter tires are needed for your driving
conditions, Goodyear Eagle M+S EMT tires are available
in your original equipment sizes from an authorized
Goodyear EMT retailer. These tires will improve snow
traction while maintaining your vehicle’s extended
mobility feature. When using winter tires on your vehicle,
be sure to use them on all four wheels. See Buying
New Tires on page 5-66.
Inflation - Tire Pressure
The tire and loading information label, shows the correct
inflation pressures for your tires when they’re cold.
“Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
See Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-33, for the location
of your vehicle’s tire and loading information label.
Notice: Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation
or overinflation is all right. It’s not. If your tires
don’t have enough air (underinflation), you can get
the following:
•
Too much flexing
•
Too much heat
•
Tire overloading
•
Bad wear
•
Bad handling
•
Bad fuel economy
If your tires have too much air (overinflation),
you can get the following:
•
Unusual wear
•
Bad handling
•
Rough ride
•
Needless damage from road hazards
