•
It is not easy to recognize the
tire damage with your own
eyes. But if there is the slight-
est hint of tire damage, even
though you cannot see the tire
damage with your own eyes,
have the tire checked or
replaced because the tire
damage may cause air leak-
age from the tire.
Mixing of radial-ply tires with bias-ply or
bias belted tires is not recommended.
Any combinations of radial-ply and
bias-ply or bias belted tires when used
on the same vehicle will seriously dete-
riorate vehicle handling. The best rule
to follow is: Identical radial-ply tires
should always be used as a set of four.
Because the sidewall of the low
aspect ratio tire is shorter than
the normal, the wheel and tire of
the low aspect ratio tire is easi-
er to be damaged. So, follow the
instructions below.
• When driving on a rough road
or off road, drive cautiously
because tires and wheels may
be damaged. And after driving,
inspect tires and wheels.
Longer wearing tires can be more sus-
ceptible 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. 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 the tire is damaged by driv-
ing on a rough road, off road,
pothole, manhole, or curb
stone, it will not be covered by
the warranty.
•
When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or curb
stone, drive slowly so that the
tires and wheels are not dam-
aged.
• You can find out the tire infor-
mation on the tire sidewall.
