Please take the time to read the tire warranty booklet in
your Owner’s Manual package. It contains valuable
information on tire maintenance.
Specific recommendations on guidelines for long-term
tire storage should be requested of the tire manufacturer.
Please refer to the tire warranty booklet for contact
information.
1. Safety
NOTE:
Unequal tire pressures from one side of the
vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the
right or left.
WARNING!
•
Under-inflation increases tire flexing and can re-
sult in tire failure.
•
Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion
shock.
•
Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause
damage that may result in tire failure.
•
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering prob-
lems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
•
Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect
vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting
in loss of vehicle control.
2. Economy
Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven wear
patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal
wear patterns will reduce tread life resulting in a need for
earlier tire replacement. Under-inflation also increases
tire rolling resistance and results in higher fuel consump-
tion.
