WARNING

Mixing tires could cause you to

lose control while driving. If you

mix tires of different sizes,

brands, or types (radial and

bias-belted tires), the vehicle

might not handle properly, and

you could have a crash. Using

tires of different sizes, brands,

or types could also cause

damage to the vehicle. Be sure to

use the same size, brand, and

type of tires on all wheels.

This vehicle may have a different

size spare than the road tires

(those originally installed on the

vehicle). When new, the vehicle

included a spare tire and wheel

assembly with a similar overall

diameter as the vehicle's road

tires and wheels, so it is all right

to drive on it. Because this spare

was developed for use on the

vehicle, it will not affect vehicle

handling.

{

WARNING

Using bias-ply tires on the

vehicle may cause the wheel

rim flanges to develop cracks

after many miles of driving.

A tire and/or wheel could fail

suddenly and cause a crash.

Use only radial-ply tires with

the wheels on the vehicle.

If you must replace the vehicle's

tires with those that do not have a

TPC Spec number, make sure they

are the same size, load range,

speed rating, and construction type

(radial and bias‐belted tires) as the

vehicle's original tires.

Vehicles that have a tire pressure

monitoring system may give an

inaccurate low‐pressure warning if

non‐TPC Spec-rated tires are

installed on the vehicle. Non‐TPC

Spec-rated tires may give a low‐

pressure warning that is higher or

lower than the proper warning level

you would get with TPC Spec-rated

tires. See Tire Pressure Monitor

System on page 10‑55.

The vehicle's original equipment

tires are listed on the Tire and

Loading Information label. See

Vehicle Load Limits on page 9‑22

for more information about the Tire

and Loading Information label and

its location on the vehicle.

Different Size Tires and

Wheels

If wheels or tires are installed that

are a different size than the original

equipment wheels and tires, vehicle

performance, including its braking,

ride and handling characteristics,

stability, and resistance to rollover

may be affected. If the vehicle has

electronic systems such as antilock

brakes, rollover airbags, traction

control, and electronic stability

control, the performance of these

systems can also be affected.
