Vehicle Care 10-39

Winter Tires

Consider installing winter tires on

the vehicle if frequent driving on

snow or ice covered roads is

expected. All season tires provide

good overall performance on most

surfaces, but they may not offer

the traction or the same level of

performance as winter tires on snow

or ice covered roads.

Winter tires, in general, are

designed for increased traction on

snow and ice covered roads. With

winter tires, there may be decreased

dry road traction, increased road

noise, and shorter tread life. After

changing to winter tires, be alert for

changes in vehicle handling and

braking.

See your dealer for details

regarding winter tire availability and

proper tire selection. Also, see

Buying New Tires on page 10‑53.

If using snow tires:

.

Use tires of the same brand and

tread type on all four wheel

positions.

.

Use only radial ply tires of the

same size, load range, and

speed rating as the original

equipment tires.

Winter tires with the same speed

rating as the original equipment tires

may not be available for H, V, W, Y,

and ZR speed rated tires. If winter

tires with a lower speed rating are

chosen, never exceed the tire's

maximum speed capability.

Low-Profile Tires

If the vehicle has P225/50R18

or P225/50R17 size tires, they

are classified as low‐profile

performance tires. These tires

are designed for very responsive

driving on wet or dry pavement,

however, may produce more

road noise and tend to wear

faster.

Notice: Low‐profile tires are

more susceptible to damage

from road hazards or curb

impact than standard profile

tires. Tire and/or wheel

assembly damage can occur

when coming into contact

with road hazards like,

potholes, or sharp edged

objects, or when sliding into a

curb. The warranty does not

cover this type of damage.

Keep tires set to the correct

inflation pressure and, when

possible, avoid contact with

curbs, potholes, and other

road hazards.

Tire Sidewall Labeling

Useful information about a tire

is molded into its sidewall. The

examples show a typical

passenger vehicle tire and a

compact spare tire sidewall.
