DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Wheel and Tire Assemblies

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

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