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 vehicles 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 370).
