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.
Summer Tyres
High Performance Summer Tyres
This vehicle may come with 245/
40R18 (front) and 275/35R18 (rear) or
265/35ZR19 (front) and 295/30ZR19
(rear) high performance summer tires.
These tyres have a special tread and
compound that are optimised for
maximum dr y and wet road
performance. This special tread and
compound will have decreased
performance in cold climates, and on
ice and snow. It is recommended that
winter tyres be installed on the
vehicle if frequent driving at
temperatures below approximately
5 °C (40 °F) or on ice or snow covered
roads is expected. See Winter Tyres
0 281.
Caution
High performance summer tires
have rubber compounds that lose
flexibility and may develop surface
cracks in the tread area at
temperatures below -7 °C (20 °F).
Always store high performance
summer tires indoors and at
temperatures above -7 °C (20 °F)
when not in use. If the tires have
been subjected to -7 °C (20 °F) or
less, let them warm up in a heated
space to at least 5 °C (40 °F) for
24 hours or more before being
installed or driving a vehicle on
which they are installed. Do not

Caution (Continued)
apply heat or blow heated air
directly on the tyres. Always inspect
tyres before use. See Tyre Inspection
0 289.
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.
.
Premature or
irregular wear.
.
Poor handling.
