Important Information About Sport
Tires and Wheels
Vehicles equipped with the optional
265/40R21 tires are designed to
enhance performance. To continue
providing this performance, extra care
must be taken when operating and
maintaining your vehicle.
These low-profile high-performance tires
are designed to 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. Extra
caution should be taken when operating
on rough roads to avoid impacts that
could cause wheel and tire damage.
The optional 265/40R21 tires were
designed 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
vehicle’s 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 366).
Notice to Crossover Vehicle Owners
E200792
Crossover vehicles handle differently
than passenger cars in the various
driving conditions that are encountered
on streets, highways and off-road.
Crossover vehicles are not designed for
cornering at speeds as high as
passenger cars any more than low-slung
sports cars are designed to perform
satisfactorily under off-road conditions.
