GENERAL INFORMATION
Throughout this group, references may be made to a
particular vehicle by letter or number designation. A
chart showing the breakdown of these designations is
included in the Introduction Section.
Tires are designed for the vehicle and provide the
best overall performance for normal operation. The
ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle’s
requirements. With proper care they will give excellent
reliability traction, skid resistance and tread life. They
have load carrying capacity, when properly inflated, to
operate at loads up to the specified Maximum Vehicle
Capacity.
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any
other factor. Careful drivers will obtain, in most cases,
much greater mileage than severe or careless drivers. A
few of the driving habits which will shorten the life of
any tire are:
• Rapid acceleration and deceleration
• Severe application of brakes
• High-speed driving
• Taking turns at excessive speeds
• Striking curbs and other obstacles
Radial ply tires can be more susceptible to irregular
tread wear. It is very important to follow the tire
rotation interval shown in the section on Tire
Rotation to achieve a greater tread life potential.
RADIAL-PLY TIRES
Radial-ply tires improve handling, tread life, and
ride quality and decrease rolling resistance.
Radial-ply tires must always be used in sets of four
and under no circumstances should they be used on
the front only. However, they may be
mixed with temporary spare tires when necessary,
but reduced speeds are recommended.
Radial-ply tires have the same load carrying capac-
ity as other types of tires of the same size. They also
use the same recommended inflation pressures.
SPARE TIRE—COMPACT
The compact spare tire is designed for emergency
use only. The original tire should be repaired and re-
installed at the first opportunity. Refer to Owner’s
Manual for complete details.
TIRE CHAINS
Tire snow chains may be used on certain models.
Refer to Owner’s Manual for more information.
CLEANING OF TIRES
Remove protective coating on tires before delivery
of vehicle, otherwise it could cause deterioration of
tires.
Remove protective coating by applying warm wa-
ter, letting it soak one minute, and then scrubbing
the coating away with a soft bristle brush.
Steam cleaning may also be used for cleaning.
DO NOT use gasoline or wire brush for cleaning.
DO NOT use mineral oil or an oil-based solvent.
