Safety Practices- Page 576

NOTE

Tires degrade over time, even when

they are not being used on the road. It

is recommended that tires generally be

replaced when they are 6 years or

older. Heat caused by hot climates or

frequent high loading conditions can

accelerate the aging process. You

should replace the spare tire when you

replace the other road tires due to the

aging of the spare tire. The period in

which the tire was manufactured (both

week and year) is indicated by a 4-digit

number.

Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-23.

Safety Practices

The way you drive has a great deal to

do with your tire mileage and safety.

So cultivate good driving habits for

your own bene

fi

t.



Observe posted speed limits and

drive at speeds that are safe for the

existing weather conditions



Avoid fast starts, stops and turns



Avoid potholes and objects on the

road



Do not run over curbs or hit the tire

against the curb when parking

CAUTION

If you feel a sudden vibration or ride

disturbance while driving or you

suspect your tire or vehicle has been

damaged, immediately reduce your

speed. Drive with caution until you can

safely pull o

ff

 the road. Stop and

inspect the tire for damage. If the tire

is under-in

fl

ated or damaged, de

fl

ate

it, remove the tire and rim and replace

it with your spare tire. If you cannot

detect a cause, have the vehicle towed

to the nearest vehicle or tire dealer to

have the vehicle inspected.
