WARNING!

Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading
can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and
increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never
overload them.

TIRES—GENERAL INFORMATION

Tire Pressure

Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the safe and
satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Three primary
areas are affected by improper tire pressure:

1. Safety—

WARNING!

Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause acci-
dents.

•

Under inflation increases tire flexing and can result in tire

failure.

•

Over inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.

Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that
results in tire failure.

•

Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You

could lose control of your vehicle.

•

Over inflated or under inflated tires can affect vehicle

handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle
control.

•

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 pressure.
