Replacement Tires

A Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) specification number is molded in the sidewall near the tire size of all original equipment tires. This specification number ensures that the tire meets the manufacturers performance standards for traction, endurance, dimension, noise, handling, rolling resistance, and others. Usually, a specific TPC number is assigned to each tire size.

Replacement tires should be the same size, load range, and construction as the original tires. Replace the original tires with tires of the same TPC specification number. Use of any other size or type tire may seriously affect ride, handling, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle ground clearance, and tire clearance to body chassis.

WARNING: Do not mix different types of tires such as radial, bias, and bias-belted tires. Vehicle handling may be seriously affected and may result in loss of control and possible personal injury.
