Tires

Tire Rotation

To help increase tire life and

distribute wear more evenly, you

should have the tires rotated every
7,500 miles (12,000 km). Move the

tires to the positions shown in the

chart each time they are rotated.

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.
