10-52 Vehicle Care
20‐Inch Tires
If your vehicle has the optional
20‐inch P275/55R2 0 size tires,
they are classified as touring
tires 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 9‑7 for additional
information.
Notice: If the vehicle has
low‐profile tires, they are more
susceptible to damage from
road hazards or curb impact
than standard profile tires.
Tire 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 curb.
The vehicle warranty does not
cover this type of damage.
Keep tires set to the correct
inflation pressure and, when
possible avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other
road hazards.
Tire Sidewall Labeling
Useful information about a tire is
molded into the sidewall. The
following illustration is an
example of a typical P‐Metric
tire sidewall.
Passenger (P‐Metric) Tire
