Overloading your tires can cause
overheating as a result of too much friction.
You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in
the Index.
Underinflated tires pose the same danger as
overloaded tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious mjury. Check all tires
frequently
to
maintam the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked
when your tires are cold.
Overinflated tires are more likely
to
be
cut, punctured or broken by
a
sudden
impact
--
such as when you hit
a
pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents.
If
your
tread is badly worn,
or
if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.

your
tires when they’re cold.
“Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven no more than
1
mile
(1.6
km).
