The label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and
loading information.

Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating,
and maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall).
Using tires of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle
systems to work incorrectly, including ABS and Vehicle Stability Assist
(VSA). It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’t
possible, replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications
match those of the original wheels.
Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability.
This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the Owner’s
Manual.

Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits,
road conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history,
speed, and environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires
reach five years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from
service after 10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their
condition or state of wear.
n
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M+S”,
snow tires, or tire chains; reduce speed and maintain sufficient distance
between vehicles when driving. For winter tires, select the size and load
ranges that are the same as the original tires and mount them to all four
wheels.
n
Tire Chains
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited
tire clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains:
Cable-type: SCC Radial Chain SC1040
Mount chains as tightly as you can and make sure that they do not touch the
brake lines or suspension.
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can damage
your vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they
are hitting any part of the vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the
brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or
killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of tire
chains.
