Summer tires
The factory-installed tires on your new 2.5 L turbo models are summer tires. Summer tires are high-speed capability tires best suited for highway driving under dry conditions.
Summer tires are inadequate for driving on slippery roads such as on snowcovered or icy roads.
If you drive your vehicle on snow-covered or icy roads, we strongly recommend the use of winter (snow) tires.
When installing winter tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
