It is recommended to replace the two front tires or
two rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire can
seriously affect your vehicle’s handling. If you ever
replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifi-
cations match those of the original wheels.
It is recommended you contact an authorized tire
dealer or original equipment dealer with any ques-
tions you may have on tire specifications or capabil-
ity. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may
adversely affect the safety, handling, and ride of
your vehicle.
WARNING!
•
Do not use a tire, wheel size, load rating, or
speed rating other than that specified for your
vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires
and wheels may change suspension dimensions
and performance characteristics, resulting in
changes to steering, handling, and braking of
your vehicle. This can cause unpredictable han-
dling and stress to steering and suspension com-
ponents. You could lose control and have a col-
lision resulting in serious injury or death. Use
only the tire and wheel sizes with load ratings
approved for your vehicle.
WARNING!
• Never use a tire with a smaller load index or
capacity, other than what was originally
equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with a
smaller load index could result in tire overload-
ing and failure. You could lose control and
have a collision.
• Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having
adequate speed capability can result in sud-
den tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different
size may result in false speedometer and odom-
eter readings.
Tire Types
All Season Tires — If Equipped
All Season tires provide traction for all seasons
(Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter). Traction levels
may vary between different all season tires. All sea-
son tires can be identified by the M+S, M&S, M/S or
MS designation on the tire sidewall. Use all season
tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may ad-
versely affect the safety and handling of your ve-
hicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires —
If Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry
conditions, and are not intended to be driven in
snow or on ice. If your vehicle is equipped with
Summer tires, be aware these tires are not designed
for Winter or cold driving conditions. Install Winter
tires on your vehicle when ambient temperatures
are less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads are covered with
ice or snow. For more information, contact an au-
thorized dealer.
