WARNING
•
Overinflation
produces
a
harsh ride, handling prob-
lems, excessive wear at the
center of the tire tread, and a
greater possibility of damage
from road hazards.
Severe underinflation (70 kPa
psi) or more) can lead to

severe heat build-up, especially
on hot days and when driving at
high speed. This can potentially
cause tread separation and
other
tire
irregularities
to
appear that can result in the
loss of vehicle control leading
to severe injury or death.
