Larger tires could scrape and rub on the vehicle body or other parts of the vehicle. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) considerations: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) must be recalibrated whenever you remove and remount or change any wheel or tire on the vehicle, even if the reinstalled or replacement wheels and tires are identical to those that were re- moved and even if the tire pressure does not change ⇒Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Tires that do not have enough clearance can rub against parts of the vehicle body, suspension, and brake system, causing brake system fail- ure, tread delamination, and sudden blowouts. x Always make sure that new tires are not larger than the tires approved for your ehvicle and that the new tires do not rub against parts of the vehicle. NOTICE x When switching to different tires, make certain the valves are not damaged . x Never drive without valve stem caps. The valves could be damaged . Always dispose of old tires in accordance with legal requirements. If the replacement wheel is different from the tires that you have mounted on your vehicle — for example, winter tires, wider, low-profile tires, or a compact spare — only use the replacement wheel for a short time and drive cautiously. x Replace it with a tire matching the others on your vehicle as soon as possible. Although tire size specifications can be the same, the actual dimensions may differ from those nominal values for different tire makes, or the tire contours may be significantly different.
