Tire Check

Tires should be inspected closely during the first 3000 to 10,000 miles (5000 to 16 000 km) for abnormal wear.

Maintain the proper pressures for carried loads, per the tire manufacturers' recommendations, or the tire pressure label on the driver's door.

Have the wheel alignment checked after the first 10,000 miles (16 000 km), then every 40,000 miles (60 000 km) thereafter.

Do not continue to drive the vehicle if tires develop any of the following:

• blisters;

• cuts or punctures that reach to the cord;

• a nail, screw, rock, or other puncturing object;

• flat spots or irregular wear;

• tread worn to a minimum depth;

• inability to maintain proper tire pressure.
