comparable mid-and rear-engine

sports cars, and it will vary greatly

with your driving habits.

If you drive moderately, the front

tires could last more than 10,000

miles (16,000 km). However, the

mileage will be substantially less if

you tend to drive your vehicle at the

upper limits of its capabilities.

You should carefully inspect your

vehicle’s tires for wear, damage, and

proper inflation every 7,500 miles

(12,000 km).

Replace your tires with radial tires of

the same size, load range, speed

rating, and maximum cold tire

pressure rating (as shown on the

tire’s sidewall).

Mixing radial and bias-ply tires on

your vehicle can reduce braking

ability, traction, and steering

accuracy. Using tires of a different

size or construction can cause the

ABS and vehicle stability assist

system (VSA) to work inconsistently.

It is best to replace all four tires at

thesametime.Ifthatisnotpossible

or necessary, replace the two front

tires or two rear tires as a pair.

Replacing just one tire can seriously

affect your vehicle’s handling.

The ABS and VSA system work by

comparing the speed of the wheels.

When replacing tires, use the same

size originally supplied with the

vehicle. Tire size and construction

can affect wheel speed and may

cause the ABS or VSA system to

activate.

Replacement wheels are available at

your dealer.

If you ever replace a wheel, make

sure that the wheel’s specifications

match those of the original wheels.

Also be sure you use only TPMS

specific wheels (if equipped). If you

do not, the tire pressure monitoring

system will not work.
