Replacing the Tires

*

[SV27400( ALL)01/95]

Replace any tires that show wear bands. When
your tire shows a wear band, it has only 1/16
inch (1.59 mm) of tread left.

Wear band

*

[SV27600( ALL)01/95]

Because your vehicle’s tires may wear unevenly,
you may need to replace them before a wear
band appears across the entire tread. Some spots
wear more heavily than others.

[SV27700( ALL)03/90]

Your wheels and tires are match-mounted for
improved ride. Before you begin to repair a tire,
mark the wheel and tire so that they are
properly aligned when remounted. This will
ensure that the tires will continue to give you
the same ride level.

RWARNING

When replacing full size tires, never mix
radial, bias-belted, or bias-type tires. Use
only the tire sizes that are listed on the
tire pressure decal. Make sure that all tires
are the same size, speed rating, and
load-carrying capacity. Use only the tire
combinations recommended on the decal.
If you do not follow these precautions,
your vehicle may not drive properly and
safely.
