Size.
Speed rating.
Load range.
Radial construction type.
The use of any other size or type may seriously affect:
Safety.
Ride.
Handling.
Speedometer / odometer calibration.
Vehicle ground clearance.
Tire clearance between body
Wheel bearing life.
Brake cooling.

SAFETY NOTES

Correct tire rotational direction is critical, observe the direction of the sidewall molded indicators.

A tire and wheel must always be correctly matched. wider or narrower tires than recommended could cause danger through sudden deflation.

When using the temporary spare wheel, maximum speed must not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph), drive with caution and replace with the specified wheel / tire assembly as soon as possible.

Traction control (if available) must not be engaged with the temporary spare wheel installed.

When changing a wheel, ensure that the vehicle cannot move. always apply the park brake and select transmission 'P' position.

Never run the engine with one wheel off the ground, for example, when changing the wheel. the vehicle could move.
