Tires

will
revolve
with
less

camber
thrust
force
and
with

greater

cornering
power
on

turns
This
tends

Exercise

Note

Radial

ply
tires

should
not
be
mixed
with

ordinary
tires

since
their
characteristics
differ
from

those
of

ordinary

b
The

brand
radial

ply

should

Tires

according

to

Uneven

wear

often
results
in

whkh
is
attributed

to

Meanwhile

the

tend
to

unevenly
because

Accordingly
to

INSPECTION

Wheel
balance

The
wheel
and
tire

assembly
should
be

kept
balanced

statically
and

dynamically

Proper
tire
balance
is

necessary
when

driving
the
car
at

high

speeds
Consequently
the
wheel
and
tire

assembly

should

be

properly
rebalanced
whenever

puncture
is

repaired

The
wheel
and
tire

assembly
becomes
out
of
balance

according
to
uneven
tire
wear

Severe
acceleration
and

braking
or

fast

cornering
is
the

cause
of
wear
on
tire

resulting
in
unbalance
of
tire
and
wheel

assembly

The

symptom
of

unbalance

appears
as

tramp

shake

and

steering
trouble

To
