TIRE LABEL
The factory-installed tires on your car were selected to provide the
best performance for normal driving.
Inflation Pressures
The tire label in the glove box lists
recommended tire pressures for
carrying loads up to the limit shown.
(Tire pressures are also listed on the
back cover of this manual.)
These pressures were chosen to
provide you with the best combi-
nation of tread life, riding comfort
and stability under normal driving
conditions.
Improper inflation can reduce
both tire life and load carrying
capacity. Check the tire pres-
sures at least once a month,
including the spare.
Lower pressure than recommended lets the tread and sidewalls flex
too much, causing increased tire temperatures, uneven wear, and
poor handling Pressure higher than recommended can make the tire
too stiff, increasing the chance of damage from road hazards, and
also causing uneven wear.
CAUTION:
Check tire pressure when the tires are cold.
(After the car has been parked for more than 3 hours or driven
less than 1 mile/ 1.6 km).
Tire pressure may increase as much as 41 kPa (6 psi) when the
tire is hot, so NEVER ADJUST tire pressure when the tires are
hot.
Never inflate load range B tires to more than 220 kPa (32 psi)
cold.
Cars with luggage racks or cartop carriers DO NOT have greater
load limits than those on the label.
Snow Tires
If you use snow tires, they should have the same load capacity as
the original equipment tires, and they must be installed in sets of
four, or they may cause poor handling. They should be inflated to 28
kPa (4 psi) (cold) above the recommended pressure on the tire label
in the glove box. Cars with snow tires should not be driven faster
than 75 mph (120 km/h).
