Tire Safety 101: Rules That Should Never Be Broken

Before you replace your tires, always consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual and follow the manufacturer’s replacement tire recommendations. Vehicle handling may be significantly affected by a change in tire size or type.

When selecting tires that are different from the original equipment size, see a professional installer. This will help assure proper clearance, load carrying capacity and inflation pressure. Never exceed the maximum load capacity and inflation pressure listed on the sidewall of your tire.

Always drive safely and obey all traffic laws. Avoid sudden, sharp turns or lane changes. Failure to follow these cautionary procedures may result in loss of control of your vehicle. It could even lead to an accident, serious injury or death.
