W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them. TIRES — GENERAL INFORMA TION Tire Pressure Proper tir e inflation pressur e is essential to the safe and satisfactory [...]

2. Economy— Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Under inflation also increases tire r olling resistance and r esults in higher fuel consump- tion. 3. Ride Comfort and V ehicle Stabilit[...]

check tire pr essure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they ar e under inflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which cou[...]

Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tir e inflation pressur e is very important. Increased tir e pressur e and reduced vehicle loading may be requir ed for h[...]

W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck, and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel no matter what the speed. T read Wear Indicators T [...]
