detect irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and balance checked immediately. Tires which have been run underinflated will show more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread. TIRE MIXING For best performance it is recommended that the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel positions. Before mixing tires of different types in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle manufacturer's Owner's Manual for its recommendations. It is especially important to check the vehicle manufacturer's owner's manual when mixing, matching, or replacing tires on 4-wheel drive vehicles, as this may require special precautions. NOTE: Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) definition of snow tires are marked M/S, M+S or M&S. On such tires, this designation is molded into the sidewall. Tires without this notation are not recommended for winter driving. Tires designated for use in severe winter conditions are marked on at least one sidewall with the letters ''M" and ''S" plus a pictograph of a mountain with a snowflake on it. It is recommended that winter tires be applied to all four wheel positions. Failure to do so may negatively affect vehicle handling. TIRE ROTATION To obtain maximum tire wear, it may be necessary to rotate your tires. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for instructions on tire rotation. Note: Your vehicle may be equipped with a dissimilar spare tire/wheel. A dissimilar spare tire/wheel is defined as a spare tire and/or wheel that is different in brand, size or appearance from the road tires and wheels. If you have a dissimilar spare tire/wheel, it is intended for temporary use only and should not be used in a tire rotation. Note: After having your tires rotated, inflation pressure must be checked and adjusted to the vehicle requirements. Monthly inspection for tire wear is recommended. Your tires should be rotated at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the next recommended rotation interval for your vehicle. This is true for all vehicles. When rotating tires with a directional tread pattern, observe the arrows molded on the sidewall which show the direction the tire should 43
