CAUTION: (Continued)
.
Underinflated tires pose the same danger
as overloaded tires. The resulting
accident could cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently to maintain the
recommended pressure. Tire pressure
should be checked when your vehicle's
tires are cold. See Inflation - Tire
Pressure
on page 6‑80 .
.
Overinflated tires are more likely to be
cut, punctured, or broken by a sudden
impact — such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommen ded pressure.
.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents.
If the tire's tread is badly worn, or if your
vehicle's tires have been damaged,
replace them.
20‐Inch Tires
If your vehicle has the optional 20‐inch
P275/55R20 size tires, they are classified as
touring tires and are designed for on road use.
The low‐profile, wide tread design is not
recommended for “off‐road” driving or commercial
uses such as snow plowing. See Off-Road Driving
on page 5‑13 and Adding a Snow Plow or Similar
Equipment
on page 5‑41 for additional information.
Notice: If the vehicle has low‐prof ile tires, they
are more susceptib le 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 vehicle
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.
