Low-Profile Tires

If your vehicle has P245/45R18 size tires, they are
classified as low-profile tires. These tires are
designed for very responsive driving on wet or dry
pavement. You may also notice more road noise
with low-profile performance tires and that they
tend to wear faster.

Notice: If your vehicle has low-profile tires,
they are more susceptible to damage from road
hazards or curb impact than standard profile
tires. Tire and/or wheel assembly damage
can occur when coming into contact with road
hazards like, potholes, or sharp edged objects,
or when sliding into a curb. Your vehicle
warranty does not cover this type of damage.
Keep tires set to the correct inflation
pressure and, when possible avoid contact
with curbs, potholes, and other road hazards.

Winter Tires

If your vehicle has P245/45R18 size tires, they are
classified as low-profile performance tires. These tires
are designed for very responsive driving on wet or
dry pavement. If you expect to drive on snow or
ice covered roads often, you may want to get winter

tires for your vehicle. The low-profile performance tires
may not offer the traction you would like or the same
level of performance as winter tires on snow or ice
covered roads.

Winter tires, in general, are designed for increased
traction on snow and ice covered roads. With winter
tires, there may be decreased dry road traction,
increased road noise, and shorter tire tread life.
After switching to winter tires, be alert for changes in
vehicle handling and braking.

See your dealer/retailer for details regarding winter tire
availability and proper tire selection. Also, see Buying
New Tires on page 5-66.

If you choose to use winter tires:

•

Use tires of the same brand and tread type on all
four wheel positions.

•

Use only radial ply tires of the same size, load range,
and speed rating as the original equipment tires.

Winter tires with the same speed rating as your original
equipment tires may not be available for H, V, W, Y,
and ZR speed rated tires. If you choose winter tires with
a lower speed rating, never exceed the tire’s maximum
speed capability.
