Inﬂation - Tire Pressure

Tires need the correct amount of air pressure to operate

effectively.

Notice: Do not let anyone tell you that

under-inﬂation or over-inﬂation is all right. It is not.

If your tires do not have enough air (under-inﬂation),

you can get the following:

• Too much ﬂexing

• Too much heat

• Tire overloading

• Premature or irregular wear

• Poor handling

• Reduced fuel economy

If your tires have too much air (over-inﬂation), you

can get the following:

• Unusual wear

• Poor handling

• Rough ride

• Needless damage from road hazards

A Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the

vehicle’s center pillar, below the driver’s door latch.

This label lists your vehicle’s original equipment

tires and shows the correct inﬂation pressures for your

tires when they are cold. The recommended cold

tire inﬂation pressure, shown on the label, is the

minimum amount of air pressure needed to support your

vehicle’s maximum load carrying capacity.

For additional information regarding how much weight

your vehicle can carry, and an example of the tire

and loading information label, see Loading Your Vehicle

on page 4-30. How you load your vehicle affects the

vehicle handling and ride comfort, never load your

vehicle with more weight than it was designed to carry.

When to Check

Check your tires once a month or more. Do not forget to

check the spare tire. If your vehicle has a compact

spare tire, it should be at 60 psi (420 kPa). For additional

information regarding the compact spare tire, see

Compact Spare Tire on page 5-86
