HOW T 0...
'
Your vehicle’s ride depends on the
tires you choose.
The tires on your vehicle can affect
your safety and your driving enjoy
ment. Choose tires that match both
your vehicle and the way you drive.
How Many Tires Do I Need?
All four tires should be identical. If
your tires don’t match, you could have
handling problems. For instance, one
end of your vehicle may not respond
as quickly or completely as the other
end. making the vehicle more difficult
to control.
If you just need to replace one tire
that has been damaged, replace it with
a tire of the same size and speed rat
ing. A tire that doesn't match the other
three tires on your vehicle could affect
your driving.
If you need to replace two tires and
the remaining two have a lot of tread
depth left, replace them with tires that
match you existing set as closely as
possible. Identical new tires are best,
but others of the same size and type
can also provide good results.
Should I Buy a Different Type of
Tire?
If you are replacing all four tires, you
can explore another category of tires.
If you want longer lasting tires, bet
ter traction or a smoother ride, there
are tires that will help you accomplish
this.
What Size of Tire Do I Need?
Tires must be able to carry the weight
of your vehicle. If a tire Is overworked
just carrying the load, it will have little
reserve capacity to help your vehicle
respond quickly and safely. Do not buy
undersized tires.

Check your owner’s manual, vehicle
door jam or glove box, to find the size
of tire recommended for you vehicle.
The other size consideration is overall
tire diameter. For cars and vans, stay
within a +/-3% diameter change. Pick
ups and sport utility vehicles (SUVs)
arc usually engineered to handle up to
a 15 percent oversize tire.
What Weather And Driving Condi
tions Will the Tires Face?
Select a tire that suit the driving con
ditions you face most often:
- Snow or ice: snow tires
- Heavy traffic: more responsive
tires
- Winding roads or in the mountains:
a tire that handles well
- Extensive highway driving: tires
with a smooth, quiet ride
If you face very different driving
conditions (heavy snow in the win
ter and lots of highway driving in the
summer), consider selecting two sets
of tires. You'll get better driving per
formance and longer total wear from
your tires.
What Kind of Look Do I Want?
Think about whether you're happy
with standard tires or you want the
added flair of custom wheels or plus
sizing.
How Can I Find The Best Value?
Simple fact: In the long run. cheap
tires won't save you money. They don't
last as long as higher quality tires and
may result in a rougher ride and infe
rior handling.
Your goal in tire shopping should be to
find the highest quality tire that meets
your specific needs and your budget.

- STEERS THE VEHI
CLE.
A tire’s ability to main
tain its course affects the
vehicle’s ability to drive in
a straight path. The tire has
to help the vehicle steer re
gardless of road and weather
conditions.
- SUPPORT THE VEHI
CLE.
A car tire has to carry
more than 50 times its own
weight.
- ABSORBS BUMPS.
The flexibility of a tire
helps it absorb obstacles on
uneven road surfaces and
provides a stable ride for the
driver and passengers while
protecting the vehicle.
- TRANSMIT FORCE.
Tires transmit the engine's
power to accelerate and the
braking force to stop. How
well the tire performs these
functions depends in part on
how well the tire is main
tained.
