pressure. Otherwise, the tire will be underinflated. Follow recommended cold tire inflation pressures listed on Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver’s door B-pillar. Keeping the tires properly inflated provides the best handling, tread life and riding comfort.
Unless specified otherwise, the tire inflation pressures on the tire inflation pressure label are valid for all approved, factory-equipped tires. When a tire size is specified, the tire inflation pressure that follows applies to that particular tire size only.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires wear excessively and/or unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated.
Each tire, including the spare, should be checked at least once a month when cold. Inflate the tires to the recommended tire inflation pressure as specified on R the Tire and Loading Information placa.
