4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance ■Maximum load of tire Check that the maximum load of the replacement tire is greater than 1/2 of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the rear axle, which- ever is greater. For the GAWR, see the Certification Label. For the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the tire. ( →P. 371) ■Tire types ●Summer tires Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction perfor- mance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow-covered or icy roads. For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires4 is recommended. When installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires. ●All season tires M a i n te All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be ade- quate for driving in most winter conditions as well as for use year-round. All sea- na son tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared withnc snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in acceleratione a n d and handling performance compared with summer tires in highway driving. ca ●Snow tires re For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, construction and load capac- ity as the originally installed tires. Since your vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restrictions. Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. (→P. 180) ■Initializing the tire pressure warning system Initialize the system with the tire inflation pressure adjusted to the specified level. ■If the tread on snow tires wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm) The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost. 273 LFA_U
