{ CAUTION:
Mixing tires could cause you to lose control while
driving. If you mix tires of different sizes (other than
those originally installed on your vehicle), brands, or
types (radial and bias-belted tires), the vehicle may
not handle properly, and you could have a crash.
Using tires of different sizes (other than those
originally installed on your vehicle), brands, or types
may also cause damage to your vehicle. Be sure to
use the correct size, brand, and type of tires on all
wheels. It is all right to drive with your vehicle’s
compact spare temporarily, it was developed for
use on your vehicle. See Compact Spare Tire on
page 5-114.
{ CAUTION:
If you use bias-ply tires on the vehicle, the
wheel rim flanges could develop cracks after
many miles of driving. A tire and/or wheel
could fail suddenly, causing a crash. Use
only radial-ply tires with the wheels on the
vehicle.
If you must replace your vehicle’s tires with those
that do not have a TPC Spec number, make sure
they are the same size, load range, speed rating,
and construction type (radial and bias-belted tires)
as your vehicle’s original tires.
Vehicles that have a tire pressure monitoring
system could give an inaccurate low-pressure
warning if non-TPC Spec rated tires are installed
on it. Non-TPC Spec rated tires may give a
low-pressure warning that is higher or lower
than the proper warning level you would get with
TPC Spec rated tires. See Tire Pressure Monitor
System on page 5-66.
