Vehicle Care 10-41
.
Use only radial ply tyres of the
same size, load range and
speed rating as the original
equipment tyres.
Winter tyres with the same speed
rating as the original equipment
tyres may not be available for H, V,
W, Y and ZR speed rated tyres.
If winter tyres with a lower speed
rating are chosen, never exceed the
tyre's maximum speed capability.
Low-Profile Tyres
22-Inch Tyres
If the vehicle has 22-inch P285/
45R22 size tyres, they are
classified as touring tyres and
are designed for on-road use.
The low-profile, wide tread
design is not recommended for
off-road driving. See Off-Road
Driving on page 9-4, for
additional information.
{
Caution
Low-profile tyres are more
susceptible to damage from road
hazards or curb impact than
standard profile tyres. Tyre and/or
wheel assembly damage can
occur when coming into contact
with road hazards like potholes,
or sharp edged objects, or when
sliding into a kerb. The warranty
does not cover this type of
damage. Keep tyres set to the
correct inflation pressure and
when possible, avoid contact with
kerbs, potholes, and other road
hazards.
All-Terrain Tyres
This vehicle may have all-terrain
tyres. These tyres provide good
performance on most road surfaces,
weather conditions, and for off-road
driving. See Off-Road Driving on
page 9-4.
The tread pattern on these tyres
may wear more quickly than other
tyres. Consider rotating the tyres
more frequently than at 12 000 km
(7,500 ml) intervals if irregular wear
is noted when the tyres are
inspected. See Tyre Inspection on
page 10-48.
Tyre Pressure
Tyres need the correct amount
of air pressure to operate
effectively.
{
Caution
Neither tyre underinflation
nor overinflation is good.
Underinflated tyres, or tyres
that do not have enough air,
can result in:
.
Tyre overloading and
overheating which could
lead to a blowout.
