Tire Pressure

Tires need the correct amount
of air pressure to operate
effectively.

Notice:

Neither tire

underinflation nor
overinflation is good.
Underinflated tires, or

tires that do not have

enough air, can result in:

.

Tire overloading and
over-heating which
could lead to a blowout.

.

Premature or
irregular wear.

.

Poor handling.

.

Reduced fuel economy.

Overinflated tires, or tires
that have too much air, can
result in:

.

Unusual wear.

.

Poor handling.

.

Rough ride.

.

Needless damage from
road hazards.

A vehicle-specific Tire and
Loading Information label
is attached to the vehicle.
This label shows the vehicle's
original equipment tires and the
correct inflation pressures for
the tires when they are cold.
The recommended cold tire
inflation pressure, shown on the
label, is the minimum amount of
air pressure needed to support
the vehicle's maximum load
carrying capacity.
