Although tire size specifications can be the same, the actual dimensions may differ from those
nominal values for different tire makes, or the tire contours may be significantly different.
Tire inflation pressure

Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒ Introduction to the
subject
The correct tire inflation pressure for the factory-installed tires is listed on a label. The factory-installed
tires may be summer, winter, or all-season tires. The label ⇒Fig.187 is on the driver door jamb.
Under- or over-inflation significantly shortens the service life of your tires and affects the handling of
the vehicle ⇒ . The correct tire pressure is very important, particularly when the vehicle is driven at
higher speeds. Incorrect tire pressure causes increased wear and even sudden tire failure and
blowouts.
The specified tire inflation pressure applies to a cold tire. When tires are warm, the pressure will be
higher than when the tires are cold.
Do not reduce the tire pressure on warm tires to match the required cold tire inflation pressure. The
tire inflation pressure would then be too low and could cause sudden tire failure and blowout.
Checking tire inflation pressure
Tire pressure should be checked at least once a month and always before long trips.
Always check the tire pressure only on cold tires when the vehicle has not been driven more than
a couple of miles (kilometers) at low speed within the last 3hours.
