factory-installed tires on this vehicle are of belted con-

struction and are selected to complement the ride and

handling characteristics of your vehicle.

Radial ply tires have the same load carrying capacity as

bias or bias-beltedtires of the same lettersize, and use the

same recommended inflation pressures.

Mixing of radial ply tires with bias or bias-belted tires is

not recommended. Combining radial ply and bias or

bias-belted tires on one vehicle will negatively affect

vehicle handling. It is recommended that radial ply tires

should always be used as a set of four.

As longer wearing tires can be more susceptible to

irregular tread wear, it is very important to follow the tire

rotation interval shown in the section “Tire rotation” to

achieve full tread life potential in these tires.

Cuts and punctures in radial ply tires are repairable only

in the tread area, because of sidewall flexing. Consult

your tire dealer for radial ply tire repairs.

Tire pressure for sustained high-speed driving

For sustained high-speed driving, increase inflation pres-

sure 4 psi (28 kPa) above the recommended pressure but

do not exceed the maximum cold inflation pressure

molded into the tire sidewall.

Replacing tire and wheels

CAUTION!

•

Avoid using different size tires from the one listed

and the combined use of different types of tires,

as this can affect driving safety.

Refer to the ‘‘TIRES AND WHEELS’’ on page 373.

•

Even if a wheel has the same rim size and offset as

the specified type of wheel, its shape may prevent

it from being fitted correctly. Consult an autho-

rized dealer before using wheels that you have.
