Replacement Considerations

WARNING: DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF TIRES ON THE SAME VEHICLE SUCH AS RADIAL, BIAS, AND BIAS-BELTED TIRES EXCEPT IN EMERGENCIES (TEMPORARY SPARE USAGE) BECAUSE VEHICLE HANDLING MAY BE SERIOUSLY AFFECTED AND MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL.

CAUTION: Use only cable-type chains with P225/55HR16 and 245/45ZR17 tires. Use of SAE class S chains or other types may damage the vehicle.

When replacing tires, only tires of the size, speed rating, load range and construction type originally installed on the vehicle are recommended. Use of any other tire size or type may seriously affect the following:
- ride
- handling
- speedometer/odometer calibration
- vehicle ground clearance
- tire clearance to the body and chassis

Consider the following when replacing tires:
1. To achieve best all around vehicle performance, tires of different construction should not be mixed on the same vehicle.
2. It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on the same axle.
3. When replacing only one tire, it should be paired with the tire having the most tread to equalize braking traction.
4. Snow tires should be of a size and type equivalent to other tires on the vehicle as recommended on the tire decal.
