WARNING!<br />

• Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than<br />

that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations<br />

of unapproved tires and wheels may change<br />

suspension dimensions and performance characteristics,<br />

resulting in changes to steering, handling,<br />

and braking of your vehicle. This can cause<br />

unpredictable handling and stress to steering and<br />

suspension components. You could lose control<br />

and have an accident resulting in serious injury or<br />

death. Use only the tire and wheel sizes with load<br />

ratings approved for your vehicle.<br />

• Never use a tire with a smaller load index or<br />

capacity, other than what was originally equipped<br />

on your vehicle. Using a tire with a smaller load<br />

index could result in tire overloading and failure.<br />

You could lose control and have an accident.<br />

• Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having<br />

adequate speed capability can result in sudden<br />

tire failure and loss of vehicle control.<br />

CAUTION!<br />

Replacing original tires with tires of a different size<br />

may result in false speedometer and odometer readings.<br />

Alignment And Balance<br />

Poor suspension alignment may result in:<br />

• Fast tire wear.<br />

STARTING AND OPERATING 239<br />

• Uneven tire wear, such as feathering and one-sided<br />

wear.<br />

• Vehicle pull to right or left.<br />

Tires may also cause the vehicle to pull to the left or right.<br />

Alignment will not correct this condition. See your dealer<br />

for proper diagnosis.<br />

Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration.<br />

Vibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-ofbalance.<br />

Proper balancing will reduce vibration and<br />

avoid tire cupping and spotty wear.<br />
