NOTICE
•
It is permissible to add 3 psi to the standard tire pressure specification if colder
temperatures are expected soon.
Tires typically loose 1psi (7kPa) for every 12°F temperature drop. If extreme
temperature variations are expected, recheck your tire pressure as necessary to
keep them properly inflated.
•
An air pressure generally decreases, as you drive up to a high-altitude area above
sea level. Thus, if you plan to drive a high-altitude area, check the tire pressures
in advance. If necessary, inflate them to a proper level. (Air inflation per altitude:
+2.4 psi/1 mile)
CAUTION
•
When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or not work properly.
•
When replacing tires, ALWAYS use the same size, type, construction and tread
pattern supplied with the vehicle for all tires.
