Wheels and Tires

Note: Do not use tire chains on your vehicle’s optional 265/40R21 tires and wheels. The use of any type of tire chain on these tiresmay damage your vehicle. See Using Snow Chains (page 322). Notice to Crossover Vehicle Owners

These low-profile high-performance tires are designed to optimize the driving dynamics you expect in a sport vehicle in both dry and wet conditions. These tires are not optimized for off-road or winter (snow or cold weather) performance; and their ride, noise, and wear characteristics are different than non-performance tires. With low-profile tires, you may notice an increase in road noise and faster wear, depending on road conditions and driving habits. Also, because of their lower profile, the tires are more susceptible to road damage from potholes, roughor unpaved roads, car wash rails, and curb contact than standard tires and wheels. Note: Your vehicle’swarranty does not cover these types of damages. Extra caution should be taken when operating on rough roads to avoid impacts that could cause wheel and tire damage. Theoptional 265/40R21 tireswere designed for track use and may exhibit significantly reduced tread life and increased tire noise compared to the standard equipment tires under normal driving conditions. Increasing the front camber settings beyond the factory settings may further accelerate tread wear and induce tire noise.

E200792 Crossover vehicles handle differently than passenger cars in the various driving conditions that are encountered on streets, highways and off-road. Crossover vehicles are not designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to performsatisfactorily under off-road conditions.
