Mopar knows tires. Goodyear and Michelin tires are original equipment on Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep(r) Vehicles. Goodyear is the leading producer of original equipment and replacement tires in the United States; Michelin is the top ranked original equipment tire brand in both passenger car and truck categories.

When you purchase new tires:

  • Be sure to have them professionally mounted.
  • Remember that a valve stem can seldom outlive two sets of tires.
    (A damaged valve stem can cause your tire to leak air.)

Inspect them regularly. Tires that are improperly cared for can accelerate tire wear and result in increased fuel consumption and accidents. Refer to your owner's manual for correct air pressure, maximum vehicle load, cold tire pressure and recommended tire size.

Check your tires for:

  • Proper inflation
  • Uneven wear
  • Stones, glass or other objects imbedded in the tread
  • Punctures

Proper inflation:

Use a tire gauge to check tire pressure of all tires, including your spare, at least once a month and before every long road trip. For a more accurate assessment, inspect them before the vehicle has been driven (while tires are still cold).

Underinflation:

  • Is the leading cause of tire failure
  • Increases fuel consumption.
  • Can greatly diminish a tire's life.

To save fuel and make your tires last longer:

  • Make sure your tires are properly inflated at all times.
  • Rotate your tires from front to rear and side to side.
