Tire Inflation

The recommended tire inflation pressure is calculated to give satisfactory ride, handling, tread life and load carrying capacity. Check tire pressure monthly, or before any extended trip, with tires cold (after the vehicle has set for 3 hours or more, or has been driven less than one mile). Adjust pressure to the specifications on the tire placard. Tire pressure is also given in GENERAL INFORMATION.
^ Higher than recommended pressure can cause:
- Hard ride.
- Reduced handling.
- Rapid tread wear at center of tire.
^ Lower than recommended pressure can cause:
- Tire squeal on turns.
- Hard steering.
- Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread.
- Tire rim bruises and rupture.
- Tire cord breakage.
- High tire temperatures.
- Reduced handling.
- High fuel consumption.
^ Unequal pressure on the same axle can cause:
- Uneven braking.
- Steering lead or pull.
- Reduced handling.
- Torque steer.

NOTICE: Keep valve caps or extensions on the valves to keep dust and water out.
