Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
{
WARNING
Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher, puts an
additional strain on tires.
Sustained high-speed driving
causes excessive heat build up
and can cause sudden tire failure.
You could have a crash and you
or others could be killed. Some
high-speed rated tires require
inflation pressure adjustment
for high speed operation. When
speed limits and road conditions
are such that a vehicle can be
driven at high speeds, make sure
the tires are rated for high speed
operation, in excellent condition,
and set to the correct cold tire
inflation pressure for the
vehicle load.
Vehicles with 245/45ZR20 103Y,
P245/50ZR19 104W and
275/40ZR20 106Y size tires,
have tires capable of high speed
use. Make sure the tires are inflated
to the recommended cold inflation
pressures before operating the
vehicle at speeds over 100 mph
(160 km/h). See Vehicle Load Limits
on page 9‑14 and Tire Pressure on
page 10‑55.
When you end this high-speed
driving, return the tires to the cold
inflation pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information
label. See Vehicle Load Limits on
page 9‑14 and Tire Pressure on
page 10‑55.
Tire Pressure Monitor
System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) uses radio and sensor
technology to check tire pressure
levels. The TPMS sensors monitor
the air pressure in your tires and
transmit tire pressure readings to
a receiver located in the vehicle.
Each tire, including the spare
(if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
