Inflation - Tire Pressure
Tires need the correct amount of air pressure to
operate effectively.
Notice: Neither tire underinflation nor
overinflation is good. Underinflated tires,
or tires that do not have enough air, can
result in:
. Tire overloading and over-heating which
could lead to a blowout.
. Premature or irregular wear.
. Poor handling.
. Reduced fuel economy.
Overinflated tires, or tires that have too much
air, can result in:
. Unusual wear.
. Poor handling.
. Rough ride.
. Needless damage from road hazards.
A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information
label is attached to your vehicle. This label shows
your vehicle's original equipment tires and the
correct inflation pressures for your tires when they
are cold. The recommended cold tire inflation
pressure, shown on the label, is the minimum
amount of air pressure needed to support your
vehicle's maximum load carrying capacity.
For additional information regarding how much
weight your vehicle can carry, and an example
of the Tire and Loading Information label, see
Loading the Vehicle on page 5‑18. How you load
your vehicle affects the vehicle handling and ride
comfort, never load your vehicle with more weight
than it was designed to carry.
When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more. Do not
forget to check the spare tire. If your vehicle has
a compact spare tire, it should be at 60 psi
(420 kPa). For additional information see Spare
Tire on page 6‑93.
