IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR235/40R18 LOW-PROFILE TIRES

AND WHEELS

If your vehicle is equipped with 235/40R18 tires, they are low-profile

tires. These tires and wheels are designed to give your vehicle a sport

appearance. With low-profile tires, you may notice an increase in road

noise and faster tire wear, depending on road conditions and driving

styles. Due to their design, low-profile tires and wheels are more prone

to road damage from potholes, rough or unpaved roads, car wash rails

and curb contact than standard tires and wheels.

Note: Your vehicle’s warranty does not cover these types of damage.

Tires should always be kept at the correct inflation pressures and extra

caution should be taken when operating on rough roads to avoid impacts

that could cause wheel and tire damage.
