PRESSURE GAUGES High quality dial type air pressure gauges are rec- ommended. After checking pressure with the gauge, TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES Under inflation (Fig. 1) causes rapid shoulder wear and tire flexing and can result in tire failure. Over inflation (Fig. 2) cause rapid center wear and loss of the tire’s ability to cushion shocks. Improper inflation can cause: • Uneven wear patterns • Reduced tread life • Reduced fuel economy • Unsatisfactory ride • The vehicle to drift. Proper tire pressure can be found on the placard attached to the vehicle, See Owner’s Manual. This pressure has been selected to provide safe ve- hicle operation, proper vehicle stability, and a weather temperature varies widely. Tire pressure will Inflation pressures specified on the placards are always cold inflation pressure. Cold inflation pres- Cold inflation pressures must not exceed 240 kPa (35 psi) for P-Series standard load tires. TIRE PRESSURES FOR HIGH-SPEED OPERA- Chrysler Corporation advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits Vehicles loaded to the maximum capacity should not be driven at continuous speeds above 120 km/h (75 WARNING: OVERINFLATED OR UNDER INFLATED CONTROL. For police or emergency vehicles that must be driven at continuous speeds over 144 km/h (90 mph), special REPLACEMENT TIRES The original equipment tires on the vehicle have been engineered to provide a proper balance of many • noise • handling • durability • tread life • traction • rolling resistance • speed capability Failure to use equipment replacement tires may adversely affect the safety and handling of the vehicle.
