Replacing less than a full set of
tires can affect the braking and
handling performance of your
vehicle. See Tire Inspection on
page 9-61 and Tire Rotation on
page 9-61 for information on
proper tire rotation.
{ WARNING
Mixing tires could cause you
to lose control while driving.
If you mix tires of different
sizes, brands, or types
(radial and bias-belted tires),
the vehicle may not handle
properly, and you could have a
crash. Using tires of different
sizes, brands, or types may
also cause damage to your
vehicle. Be sure to use the

spare temporarily, as it was
developed for use on your
vehicle. See Compact Spare
Tire on page 9-83.
{ WARNING
If you use bias-ply tires on the
vehicle, the wheel rim flanges
could develop cracks after
many miles of driving. A tire
and/or wheel could fail
suddenly, causing a crash.
Use only radial-ply tires with
the wheels on the vehicle.
If you must replace your
vehicle’s tires with those that do
not have a TPC Spec number,
make sure they are the same
size, load range, speed rating,
and construction type (radial
and bias-belted tires) as your
vehicle’s original tires.
Vehicles that have a tire
pressure monitoring system
could give an inaccurate
low-pressure warning if
non-TPC Spec rated tires
are installed on your vehicle.
Non-TPC Spec rated tires may
give a low-pressure warning that
is higher or lower than the proper
warning level you would get with
TPC Spec rated tires. See Tire
Pressure Monitor System on
page 9-56.
Your vehicle’s original equipment
tires are listed on the Tire and
Loading Information Label.
See Vehicle Load Limits on
page 8-12, for more information
about the Tire and Loading
Information Label and its location
on your vehicle.
