The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
The tire has a puncture, cut, or other
damage that can’t be repaired well
because of the size or location of the
damage.
Buying
New
Tires
To find
out
what kind and size
of
tires
you need, look at the Tire-Loading
Information label. The tires installed
on
your vehicle when it was new had a Tire
Performance Criteria Specification (TPC
Spec) number on each tire’s sidewall.
When you get new tires, get ones with
that same TPC Spec number. That way,
your vehicle will continue to have tires
that are designed to give proper
endurance, handling, speed rating,
traction, ride and other things during
normal service on your vehicle. If your
tires have
an
all-season tread design, the
TPC number will be followed by a
“MS”
(for mud and snow).
If you ever replace your tires with those
not having a TPC Spec number, make
sure they are the same size, load range,
speed rating and construction type (bias,
bias-belted
or
radial) as your original
tires.
Mixing
tires
could
cause
you
-
to
lose control
while
driving.
I€
you
mix
tires
of
different
sizes
or
types
(radial
and
bias-belted
tires),
the
vehicle
may
not
handle
properly,
and
you
could
have
a
crash.
Be
sure
to
use
the
same
size
and
type
tires
on
all
four
wheels.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the
system developed by the United States
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration which grades tires by
treadwear, traction and temperature
