Warning!
Follow recommend inflation pressures.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflating tires
can result in sudden deflation (blowout)
because they are more likely to become
punctured or damaged by road debris,
potholes, etc.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated
tires wear unevenly, adversely affect
handling and fuel economy, and are more
likely to fail from being overheated.
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified vehicle capacity weight (as
indicated by the label on the pillar in the
driver’s door opening). Overloading the
tires can overheat them, possibly causing a
blowout.
