Wheels And Tires: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Do not mix different types of tires (radial, bias or bias-belted tires) on the same vehicle except in emergencies (temporary spare usage). Vehicle handling may be affected and may result in serious personal injury.

Factory-installed tires and wheels are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to and including full-rated load capacity when inflated to recommended inflation pressures.

Correct tire pressure and driving techniques have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.

To equalize tire wear, the tires should be rotated at recommended intervals.
