Tire Pressure

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

Caution

Neither tire underinflation nor
overinflation is good.
Underinflated tires, or tires
that do not have enough air,
can result in:

.

Tire overloading and
overheating 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.

The Tire and Loading
Information label on the vehicle
indicates the original equipment
tires and the correct cold tire
inflation pressures. The
recommended pressure is the
minimum air pressure needed to
support the vehicle's maximum
load carrying capacity. See

How the vehicle is loaded
affects vehicle handling and ride
comfort. Never load the vehicle
with more weight than it was
designed to carry.

When to Check

Check the tires once a month or
more. Do not forget the compact
spare, if the vehicle has one.
The cold compact spare tire
pressure should be at 420 kPa
(60 psi). See
