are good for no more
than
100
miles of
driving
at
speeds
not
over
50
mph. A
permanent
vulcanized repair, plug
or
patch
applied from inside
the
tire, should be
made . as soon as
possible. Also,
the
installation
of
an inner
tube
in
a damaged
tubeless tire
is
not
a recommended repair
procedure.
REPLACEMENT
TIRES
When replacing tires,
only
the
size, load
range,
and construction
type
(bias,
belted-bias,
or
radial) originally installed
on
your vehicle are recommended.
Use
of
any
other
tire size
or
type
tire may seriously
affect
ride,
handling,
speedometer/odometer
calibration, vehicle
ground
clearance and tire clearance
to
the
body
and chassis. The following also
should
be considered when replacing tires:
•
To
achieve best all
around
vehicle
performance, bias-belted tires and bias
tires
should
not
be mixed on
the
same
car.
• Because
of
possible adverse effects
on
vehicle handling,
do
not
mix radial ply
tires with
other
type
tires
on
the
same
vehicle.
•
It
is
recommended
that
new tires be
installed
in
pairs on
the
same axle.
•
When replacing only
one
tire, it should
be paired with
the
tire having
the
least
wear,
to
equalize braking
traction.
• When replacing original tires with an
optional recommended size
of
different
diameter,
the
speedometer
must be
recalibrated by installing
the
correct
speedometer
driven gear.
SNOW
TIRES
If
you equip
your
vehicle with snow tires,
they
should be inflated 4 psi above
the
recommended pressures shown on
the
tire
placard
up
to
a maximum
of
32 psi (cold)
for load range B tires.
It
is
recommended
that
vehicle speeds be limited
to
a
maximum
of
75
mph
if
snow tires are
installed.
REPLACEMENT
WHEELS
When replacing wheels for
any
reason, care
should be
taken
to
insure
that
the
wheels
are equivalent
to
those removed
in
diameter, rim
width,
off-set, and load
capacity.

are
warranted
by
the
tire
manufacturers as covered in
