Radial-Ply Tire

DESCRIPTION
Radial-ply tires improve handling, tread life, 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. It is recommended that tires from different manufacturers NOT be mixed. They may be mixed with a temporary spare tire when necessary. A maximum speed of 50 mph is recommended while a temporary spare is in use.
Radial-ply tires have the same load-carrying capacity as other types of tires of the same size. They also use the same recommended inflation pressures.
The proper tire pressure should be maintained on all four tires. For proper tire pressure, refer to the label located on the interior rear facing of the glove box.
