Maintenance
Snow tires
Radial-ply tires
Cuts and punctures in radial-ply tires
are repairable only in the tread area,
because of  sidewall flexing.  Consult
your  tire   dealer   for  radial-ply   tire
repairs.
If you equip your car with snow tires,
they  should  be the  same  size  and
have the  same load capacity  as the
original  tires. Snow  tires  should  be
installed  on  all  four  wheels;  other-
wise, poor handling may result.
Radial-ply   tires   provide   improved
tread life, road hazard resistance and
smoother high  speed ride. The radi-
al-ply tires used on this vehicle are of
belted construction, and are selected
to complement the ride and handling

not   recommended.  Any   combina-
tions of radial-ply and bias-ply or bias
belted tires when  used on the  same
vehicle   will   seriously    deteriorate
vehicle handling. The best rule to fol-
low is: Identical radial-ply tires should
always be used as a set of  four.
Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) when your car is equipped with
snow tires.
Longer  wearing  tires  can  be  more
susceptible to irregular tread  wear. It
is  very  important  to  follow  the  tire
rotation interval shown in this section
to achieve  the tread  life potential  of
these tires.
