CAUTION: (Continued)
Underinflated tires pose the same
danger as overloaded tires. The
resulting accident could cause serious
injury. Check all tires frequently to
maintain the recommended pressure.
Tire pressure should be checked when
your tires are cold. See Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-61.
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.
See High-Speed Operation on page 5-62
for inflation pressure adjustment for high
speed driving.
22-Inch Tires
If your vehicle has the optional 22-inch
P285/45R22 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 4-12, for additional information.
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.
