Tires
Your new vehicle comes with
high-quality tires made by a
leading tire manufacturer.
If you ever have questions
about your tire warranty and
where to obtain service, see
your vehicle Warranty booklet
for details. For additional
information refer to the tire
manufacturer.

WARNING
Poorly maintained and improperly
used tires are dangerous.
. Overloading your tires can
cause overheating as a result
of too much flexing. You
could have an air-out and a
serious accident. See Vehicle
Load Limits on page 9‑12.

WARNING (Continued)
. Underinflated tires pose the
same danger as overloaded
tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently to
maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure
should be checked when
your tires are cold. See Tire
Pressure on page 10‑44.
. Overinflated tires are more
likely to be cut, punctured
or broken by a sudden
impact — such as when you
hit a pothole. Keep tires at
the recommended pressure.
. Worn, old tires can cause
accidents. If your tread is
badly worn, or if your tires
have been damaged,
replace them.
