7. Steel Wheel and Tire
A: INSPECTION
1) Deformation or damage on the rim can cause
air leakage. Check the rim flange for deformation,
crack, or damage, and repair or replace as neces-
sary.
2) Take stone, glass, nail etc. off the tread groove.
3) Replace tire:
CAUTION:
IWhen replacing a tire, make sure to use only
the same size, construction and load range as
originally installed.
IAvoid mixing radial, belted bias or bias tires
on the vehicle.
(1) when large crack on side wall, damage or
crack on tread is found.
(2) when the ªtread wear indicatorº appears as
a solid band across the tread.
G4M0297
1. INSPECTION OF WHEEL RUNOUT
1) Jack-up vehicle until wheels clear the floor.
2) Slowly rotate wheel to check rim ªrunoutº using
a dial gauge.
G4M0298
Axial runout limit Radial runout limit
Steel wheel 1.5 mm (0.059 in)
Aluminum wheel 1.0 mm (0.039 in)
G4M0299
3) If rim runout exceeds specifications, remove
tire from rim and check runout while attaching dial
gauge to positions shown in figure.
4) If measured runout still exceeds specifications,
replace the wheel.

12. ªT-typeº Tire
ªT-typeº tire for temporary use is prepared as a
spare tire.
CAUTION:
IKeep the inflation pressure at 420 kPa (4.2
kg/cm
2, 60 psi) at all times.
IWhen the wear indicator appears on the
tread surface, replace the tire with a new one.
IDo not use a tire chain with the ªT-typeº 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.
IDo not drive at a speed greater than 80 km/h
(50 MPH).
IDrive as slowly as possible and avoid pass-
ing over bumps.
IReplace with a conventional tire as soon as
possible since this ªT-typeº tire is only for tem-
porary use.
