Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road 
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and ination pressure maintenance, it is 
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach
ve years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from service after 
10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of
wear.
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M+S”, snow 
tires, or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufcient distance between 
vehicles when driving. For winter tires, select the size and load ranges that are the 
same as the original tires, and mount them to all four wheels.
Tire Chains
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited tire 
clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains:
Models with 215/70R16 tires:
Cable type: SCC Radial Chain SC1042
Models with 225/65R17 or P225/60R18 99H tires:
Cable type: SCC Radial Chain TC2111MM
Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch the
brake lines or suspension.
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can damage your 
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting 
any part of the vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the
brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of tire
chains.
WARNING
Tire Labeling
The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you 
should be aware of are described below.
Tire Identification Number (TIN)
The tire identication number 
(TIN) is a group of numbers 
and letters that look like the
example below. TIN is located 
on the sidewall of the tire.
Glossary of Tire Terminology
Cold Tire Pressure – The tire air pressure when the vehicle has been 
parked for at least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Load Rating – The maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given
inflation pressure.
Maximum Ination Pressure – The maximum tire air pressure that the tire 
can hold.
Maximum Load Rating – The load rating for a tire at the maximum
permissible ination pressure for that tire.
Recommended Ination Pressure – The cold tire ination pressure 
recommended by the manufacturer.
Treadwear Indicators (TWI) – The projections within the principal grooves 
designed to give a visual indication of the degrees of wear of the tread.
Here is an example of what each marking
means:
215/70R16 100S
•  215: tire width in millimeters
•  70: aspect ratio (tire section height as a
percentage of its width)
•  R: tire construction code (radial)
•  16: rim diameter in inches
•  100: load index (code indicating
maximum load tire can carry)
•  S: speed symbol (code indicating 
maximum speed rating)
DOT B97R FW6X 2209
DOT: This indicates that the tire meets all
requirements of the U.S. Department of
T
ransportation.
B97R: Manufacturer’s identication mark
FW6X: Tire type code
