If your vehicle has P225/60R17 size tires, they will
require inflation pressure adjustment when
driving your vehicle at speeds of 100 mph
(160 km/h) or higher. Set the cold inflation
pressure to the maximum inflation pressure shown
on the tire sidewall, or 38 psi (262 kPa),
whichever is lower. See the example following.
When you end this high-speed driving, return the
tires to the cold tire inflation pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information label. See
Loading Your Vehicle on page 404 and
Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 485.
Example:
You will find the maximum load and inflation
pressure molded on the tire’s sidewall, in small
letters, near the rim flange. It will read something
like this: Maximum load 690 kg (1521 lbs)
300 kPa (44 psi) Max. Press.
For this example, you would set the inflation
pressure for high-speed driving at
38 psi (262 kPa).
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km).
Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your
tires as soon as possible and check wheel
alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels.
See When It Is Time for New Tires on page 489
and Wheel Replacement on page 494 for
more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The
first rotation is the most important. See Scheduled
Maintenance on page 539.
