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 8‑24.
. 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 9‑50.

WARNING (Continued)
. 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.
