Radial

tire

Tires
of
radial

ply
construction

will
revolve
with
less

camber
thrust
force
and
with

greater

cornering
power
on

turns
This
tends
to
cause
local
or

rapid
wear
on
the

treads

with
excessive

toe
in

Exercise

special
care
for
front

wheel

alignment

during
the
life
of
tires
Note
a
Radial

ply
tires

should
not
be
mixed
with

ordinary
tires

since
their
characteristics
differ
from

those
of

ordinary
tires

b
The
same
brand
radial

ply
tires
should
be

installed
on
all
wheels

c

The
tubes

designed
for
radial
tire
should
be
used

exclusively

d

Snow
chain
should
not
be
fitted
because
of

CHASSIS

Tire
rotation

Tires

wear
unevenly
and
become
unbalanced

according

to

running
distance
Uneven
tire
wear

often
results
in
tire

noise
whkh
is
attributed

to
rear
axle

gears
bearing
ell

Meanwhile

the
front

tires
tend
to
wear

unevenly
because

of
front
wheel

alignment

Accordingly
to

equalize
tire
wear
it
is

necessary
to

rotate

tires

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
car
shake

and

steering
trouble

To
correct
unbalance
use

proper
wheel
balancer

Wheel

In
order

to
ensure

satisfactory
steering
condition
as

well

as
maximum
tire
life

proceed
as
follows

I

Check
wheel
rim

especially
rim

flange
and
bead

seat

for
rust
distortion

cracks
or
other
defects
which

might

cause
air
leaks
Function
of

tubeless
tire

depends
on
a

good
seal
between
tire

bead
and
wheel
rim

Thoroughly

remove
rust

oxidized
rubber
or

sand
from
wheel
rim

with
wire

brush

or

paper
Use
