TIRES
WARNING
Operating your vehicle with worn tires, improperly inflated tires, non-standard
tires or improperly installed tires will affect vehicle handling and could cause an
accident resulting in serious injury or death. Always follow all tire maintenance
procedures as outlined in this manual and on the labels on the vehicle. Always
use original equipment size and type when replacing tires.
TIRE TREAD DEPTH
Any accelerated wear of tires may be an
indicator of improper alignment or poor
driving habits. Your authorized GEM
dealer can assist.
Rotate wheels every 5,000 miles, or
more frequently if needed.
Always replace tires when tread depth
is worn to 1/8” (3 mm) or less.
