Tire replacement
• Do not drive your vehicle with
too little or too much pressure
in your tires. This can lead to
uneven wear and tire failure.
• When replacing tires, never
mix radial and bias-ply tires

replace all tires (including the
spare) if moving from radial to
bias-ply tires.

Do not wait for the band to appear
