WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES. CHECK HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These conditions not only shorten the life of your tires but adversely affect the handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If you 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. If your vehicle is equipped with a full size spare tire the same size as the ground tires and matching wheel, include it in a five-tire rotation pattern, when possible. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for instructions on tire rotation. 34

WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT FOR
SAFETY AND MAXIMUM MILEAGE FROM YOUR TIRES.
CHECK HOW YOUR TIRES ARE WEARING AT LEAST ONCE EACH
MONTH
If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire wearing
faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive vibration, your vehicle
may be out of alignment or balance. These conditions not only shorten the life of
your tires but adversely affect the handling characteristics of your vehicle, which
could be dangerous. If you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your align-
ment 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 picto-
graph 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. If your
vehicle is equipped with a full size spare tire the same size as the ground tires
and matching wheel, include it in a five-tire rotation pattern, when possible. Re-
fer to your vehicle owner’s manual for instructions on tire rotation.
