Hi Steve.  These tires are not the same size as the originals, so manual
does not apply.

If you want to find out what is right for your car, and your driving
style, buy an IF temp meter, drive the car, test the temp across the tire.

Radio Shack has one for $50, and it's pretty accurate.  You can also
check the temp gauge, AC ducts in house, what ever.
