Wheels and Tires: Description and Operation
Wheels And TiresWARNING: Do not mix different types of tires, such as radial, bias or bias-belted on the same vehicle except in emergencies. Vehicle handling can be seriously affected and can result in loss of control. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Factory-installed tires and wheels are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to and including full-rated load capacity when inflated to recommended inflation pressures.
Correct tire pressure and driving techniques have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
The spare tire is mounted under the frame. The valve stem should be on the top side of the tire to reduce the possibility of accidental valve stem air leakage.
To equalize tire wear, rotate the tires periodically.
