Tires

When replacement is necessary, the original
equipment type tire should be used. Refer to
Tire Placard.
Replacement tires should be of the same size,
load range and construction as those originally
on the car. Use of any other size or type tire
may affect ride, handling, speedometer/odometer
calibration, vehicle ground clearance and tire or
snow chain clearance to body and chassis.
NOTE:
Do not mix different types of tires on the same
car such as radial, bias and bias-belted tires
except in emergencies, because car handling may
be seriously affected and may result in loss of
control.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in
pairs on the same axle. If necessary to replace
only one tire, it should be paired with the tire
having the most tread, to equalize braking
traction.

l

Check inflating pressure of each tire and,
l
as necessary, adjust pressure to specification.
Check wheels for dent, crack or other damage.
