Inflation - Tire Pressure

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

Notice:

Do not let anyone tell you that

under

inflation or over

inflation is all right.

It is not. If your tires do not have enough air
(under

inflation), you can get the following:

.

Too much flexing

.

Too much heat

.

Tire overloading

.

Premature or irregular wear

.

Poor handling

.

Reduced fuel economy

If your tires have too much air (over

inflation),

you can get the following:

.

Unusual wear

.

Poor handling

.

Rough ride

.

Needless damage from road hazards

A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information
label is attached to your vehicle. This label shows
your vehicle's original equipment tires and the
correct inflation pressures for your 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 your
vehicle's maximum load carrying capacity.

For additional information regarding how much
weight your vehicle can carry, and an example of
the Tire and Loading Information label, see

Loading the Vehicle on page 5

How you load

your vehicle affects vehicle handling and ride
comfort. Never load your vehicle with more weight
than it was designed to carry.

When to Check

Check your tires once a month or more. Do not
forget to check the compact spare tire, it should
be at 60 psi (420 kPa). For additional information
regarding the compact spare tire, see
