12. Tire Rotation
If tires are maintained at the same positions for a long
period of time, uneven wear results. Therefore, they should
be periodically rotated.
This lengthens service life of tires.
CAUTION:
When rotating tires, replace unevenly worn or dam-
aged tires with new ones.
13.“T-type”Tire
“T-type”tire for temporary use is prepared as a spare tire.
CAUTION:
Keep the inflation pressure at 420 kPa (4.2 kg/cm
2,
60 psi) at all times.
When the wear indicator appears on the tread
surface, replace the tire with a new one.
Do not use a tire chain with the“T-type”tire.
Because of the smaller tire size, a tire chain will not fit
properly and will result in damage to the vehicle and
the tire.
Do not drive at a speed greater than 80 km/h (50
MPH).
Drive as slowly as possible and avoid passing over
bumps.
Replace with a conventional tire as soon as possible
since this“T-type”tire is only for temporary use.
