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, pot-
holes, etc.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated
tires wear unevenly, adversely affect han-
dling and fuel economy, and are more likely
to fail from being overheated.
