Operation and Maintenance
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 premature replacement. Under-inflation increases tire rolling-
resistance, resulting in lower vehicle range.
3. Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a comfortable ride. Over-inflation produces
a jarring and uncomfortable ride. Both under-inflation and over-inflation affect
the stability of the vehicle and can produce a feeling of sluggish response or
over responsiveness.
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. Always
drive with each tire inflated to the recommended pressure located on the
tire sidewall.
WARNING!
Replacement Tires
The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of many characteristics.
They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct inflation pressure.
GEM strongly recommends that you use tires equivalent to the originals
in quality and performance when replacement is needed. Failure to use
equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the safety, handling,
and ride of your vehicle. We recommend that you contact your dealer or
GEM Customer Service regarding any questions you may have on tire
specifications or capability.
