CAUTION!
Tires of same type and tread pattern must be
used on cars with All Wheel Drive (otherwise
risk of damage to central differential).
- Check tread wear pattern:
Tread wear pattern on front tires is an indication
of whether toe and camber settings need to be
checked:
"Feathering" on tread indicates incorrect toe.
If tread is worn on one side, this is usually
caused by incorrect camber.
If wear of this nature is noticed, check wheel
alignment.

The correct inflation pressure is indicated on the tire side wall.It is important to install dust caps on the tire valves. Otherwise, dirt
can obstruct the valve pin and cause loss of air. On vehicles with steel rims and full-diameter wheel covers, check the
valve extensions for dirt and damage which could cause leaks.
