WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous
.
Over-
loading 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 Information
Tire Pressure
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the
safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle
.
Four primary areas are affected by improper tire
pressure:
• Safety and Vehicle Stability
• Economy
• Tread Wear
• Ride Comfort
Safety
WARNING!
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and
can cause collisions
.
• Underinflation increases tire flexing and can
result in overheating and tire failure
.
• Overinflation reduces a tire's ability to cush-
ion shock
.
Objects on the road and chuck-
holes can cause damage that result in tire
failure
.
• Overinflated or underinflated tires can af-
fect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly,
resulting in loss of vehicle control
.
• Unequal tire pressures can cause steering
problems
.
You could lose control of your
vehicle
.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side of the
vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to
drift to the right or left
.
• Always drive with each tire inflated to the
recommended cold tire inflation pressure
.
Both under-inflation and over-inflation affect the
stability of the vehicle and can produce a feeling
of sluggish response or over responsiveness in the
steering
.
NOTE:
• Unequal tire pressures from side to side may
cause erratic and unpredictable steering re-
sponse
.
• Unequal tire pressure from side to side may
cause the vehicle to drift left or right
.
Fuel Economy
Underinflated tires will increase tire rolling resis-
tance resulting in higher fuel consumption
.
Tread Wear
Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause
abnormal wear patterns and reduced tread life,
resulting in the need for earlier tire replacement
.
Ride Comfort And Vehicle Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a comfortable
ride
.
Over-inflation produces a jarring and un-
comfortable ride
.
Tire Inflation Pressures
The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on
the driver's side B-Pillar or rear edge of the
driver's side door
.
