Service and Appearance Care
When
to
Check:
Check your tires once a
month or more. Don’t forget your
compact spare tire. It should be at
60
psi
(420 kPa).
How
to
Check:
Use a good quality
pocket-type gage to check tire pressure.
Simply looking at the tires will not tell
you the pressure, especially if you have
radial tires
-
which may look properly
inflated even
if
they’re underinflated.
If
your tires have valve caps, be sure to
put them back on. They help prevent
leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
To
make your tires last longer, have them
inspected and rotated at the mileages
recommended
in
the Maintenance
Schedule. See “Scheduled Maintenance
Services” in the Index.

you don’t have P245/50ZR16 size tires

your size tires.
