[V8] Goodyear Tires

[Stephen B. Harper]

Here it is from the V8 Owner's Manual, page 110:

"All four wheels on the vehicle must always have tires of the same size, 
construction and tread type.  Different tires on the front and rear 
wheels may impair vehicle control and will damage the all-wheel drive 
because of the constantly different wheel speeds.  For this reason use 
only a standard size spare wheel or the compact temporary spare tire 
supplied with the vehicle from the factory.  The proper function of the 
system is not affected by unevenly worn tires."
