Replacing Tires

All models are equipped with metric sized steel belted radial tires. The metric tire size format is shown in the illustration. When replacement is necessary, the original equipment type tire should be used.





Refer to Tire Loading Information sticker located on rear edge of driver's door.
Most metric tire sizes do not have exact corresponding alphanumeric tire sizes. Replacement tires should be of same size, load range, and construction as those originally equipped with vehicle. The use of any other size or type tire may affect vehicle ride and handling, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle ground clearance, tire to body or chassis clearance, and snow chain to body or chassis clearance.

NOTICE: Do not mix tires of different size or construction on vehicle. Vehicle handling may be seriously affected. A loss of control could occur.

It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on the same axle. If necessary to replace only one tire, it should be paired with tire having the most tread to equalize braking traction.
