Replacing the Tires
Replace any tires that show wear bands. When your
tire shows a wear band, it has only 1/16 inch (2
mm) of tread left.
A worn-out tire
Because your vehicle’s tires may wear unevenly,
you may need to replace them before a wear band
appears across the entire tread.
WARNING
When replacing full size tires, never
mix radial, bias-belted, or bias-type
tires. Use only the tire sizes that are
listed on the tire pressure decal. Make
sure that all tires are the same size,
speed rating, and load-carrying capacity.
Use only the tire combinations
recommended on the decal. If you do
not follow these precautions, your
vehicle may not drive properly and
safely.
Tires that are larger or smaller than your vehicle’s
original tires may also affect the accuracy of your
speedometer.
