338 MAINTENANCE factory-installed tires on this vehicle are of belted construction and are selected to complement the ride and handling characteristics of your vehicle. Radial ply tires have the same load carrying capacity as bias or bias-belted tires of the same letter size, and use the same recommended inflation pressures. Mixing of radial ply tires with bias or bias-belted tires is not recommended. Combining radial ply and bias or bias-belted tires on one vehicle will negatively affect vehicle handling. It is recommended that radial ply tires should always be used as a set of four. As longer wearing tires can be more susceptible to irregular tread wear, it is very important to follow the tire rotation interval shown in the section "Tire rotation" to achieve full tread life potential in these tires. Cuts and punctures in radial ply tires are repairable only in the tread area, because of sidewall flexing. Consult your tire dealer for radial ply tire repairs. Tire pressure for sustained high-speed driving For sustained high-speed driving, increase inflation pressure 4 psi (28 kPa) above the recommended pressure but do not exceed the maximum cold inflation pressure molded into the tire sidewall. Replacing tire and wheels CAUTION! • Avoid using different size tires from the one listed and the combined use of different types of tires, as this can affect driving safety. Refer to the ''TIRES AND WHEELS'' on page 373. • Even if a wheel has the same rim size and offset as the specified type of wheel, its shape may prevent it from being fitted correctly. Consult an authorized dealer before using wheels that you have. Tire maintenance The following maintenance steps are recommended: 1. Check pressure regularly.
