Tires

When shopping for replacement
tires, you may find that some tires

are "directional." This means they
are designed to rotate only in one
direction. If you use directional tires,

they should be rotated only front-to-
back.

Replacing Tires and Wheels

The tires that came with your car
were selected to match the perform-

ance capabilities of the car while

providing the best combination of
handling, ride comfort, and long life.
You should replace them with radial
tires of the same size, load range,

speed rating, and maximum cold tire
pressure rating (as shown on the

tire's sidewall). Mixing radial and
bias-ply tires on your car can reduce
its braking ability, traction, and

steering accuracy.

It is best to replace all four tires at
the same time. If that is not possible
or necessary, then replace the two
front tires or the two rear tires as a
pair. Replacing just one tire can
seriously affect your car's handling.

Maintenance

Installing improper tires on your

car can affect handling and
stability. This can cause a crash

in which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.

Always use the size and type of
tires recommended in this
owner's manual.
