TIRE CARE
Important Information About
Low-Profile Tires
If your vehicle has 265/40R21
tires, they are low-profile tires.
These tires and wheels give your
vehicle a sport appearance. With
low-profile tires, you may notice
an increase in road noise and
faster tire wear, depending on
road conditions and driving styles.
Due to their design, low-profile
tires and wheels are more prone
to road damage from potholes,
rough or unpaved roads, car wash
rails and curb contact than
standard tires and wheels.
Note: Your vehicle's warranty does
not cover these types of damages.
Take extra caution when driving on
rough roads to avoid impacts that
could cause wheel and tire
damage.
Important Information About
Sport Tires and Wheels
The design of the optional
265/40R21 tires enhances the
performance of your vehicle. To
continue providing this
performance, you must take extra
care when operating and
maintaining your vehicle.
These low-profile
high-performance tires optimize
the driving dynamics you expect
in a sport vehicle in both dry and
wet conditions. These tires are not
optimized for off-road or winter
(snow or cold weather)
performance, and their ride, noise,
and wear characteristics are
different than non-performance
tires. With low-profile tires, you
may notice an increase in road
noise and faster wear, depending
on road conditions and driving
habits. Also, because of their
lower profile, the tires are more
susceptible to road damage from
potholes, rough or unpaved roads,
car wash rails, and curb contact
than standard tires and wheels.
Note: Your vehicle s warranty does
not cover these types of damages.
Take extra caution when driving on
rough roads to avoid impacts that
could cause wheel and tire
damage.
The optional 265/40R21 tires are
for track use and may exhibit
significantly reduced tread life and
increased tire noise compared to
the standard equipment tires
under normal driving conditions.
Increasing the front camber
settings beyond the factory
settings may further accelerate
tread wear and induce tire noise.
Note: Do not use tire chains on
your vehicles optional 265/40R21
tires and wheels. The use of any
type of tire chain on these tires may
damage your vehicle. See Using
Snow Chains (page 329).
