GENERAL INFORMATION
Important Information for P265/40R22 Low-profile Tires and Wheels
If your vehicle is equipped with P265/40R22 tires, they are low-profile
tires. These tires and wheels are designed to give your vehicle a sport
appearance. With low-profile tires, you may notice an increase in road
noise and faster tire wear, depending on road conditions and driving
styles. Due to their design, low-profile tires and wheels are more prone
to road damage from potholes, rough or unpaved roads, car wash rails
and curb contact than standard tires and wheels.
Note:
Your vehicle’s warranty does not cover these types of damage.
Tires should always be kept at the correct inflation pressures and extra
caution should be taken when operating on rough roads to avoid impacts
that could cause wheel and tire damage.
Notice to Crossover Vehicle Owners
Crossover vehicles handle differently
than passenger cars in the various
driving conditions that are
encountered on streets, highways and
off-road. Crossover vehicles are not
designed for cornering at speeds as
high as passenger cars any more than
low-slung sports cars are designed to
perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions.
WARNING:
Crossover vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles. To reduce the risk of
serious injury or death from a rollover or other crash you must:
•
Avoid sharp turns and abrupt maneuvers.
•
Drive at safe speeds for the conditions.
•
Keep tires properly inflated.
•
Never overload or improperly load your vehicle.
•
Make sure every passenger is properly restrained.
