Tire Construction

This vehicle is fitted with special high-performance radial-ply tires having a directional tread pattern.

Radial-ply tires improve handling, tread life, and ride quality and decrease rolling resistance.

Radial-ply tires must always be used in sets of four and under no circumstances should they be used on the front only.

Radial-ply tires have the same load carrying capacity as other types of tires of the same size. They also use the same recommended inflation pressures.
