*1 : Snow tyre (M+S): It is also called winter tyres and designed for traction in mud and snow.
*2 : Indicates tyre inflation pressure when towing a trailer
Check the tyre inflation pressure of all the tyres while they are cold: if insufficient or excessive, adjust to the specified value.
After the tyre inflation pressure has been adjusted, check the tyres for damage and air leaks. Be sure to put rubber caps on the valves.

Type 1
M40A027a
Tyre rotationEM60A-Vc
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,
road surface conditions and individual
driver’s driving habits. To equalize the
wear and help extend tyre life, it is recom-
mended to rotate the tyres immediately
after discovery of abnormal wear, or when-
ever the wear difference between the front
and rear tyres is recognizable.
Type 2
M40A043a
When rotating tyres, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tyre pressure,
improper wheel alignment, out of balance
wheel, or severe braking. Consult your
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer to deter-
mine the cause of irregular tread wear.
Type 3
M40A049a
CAUTION
(1) A compact spare tyre can be
fitted temporarily in place of a tyre
that has been removed during the
tyre rotation. However, it must not
be included in the regular tyre
rotation sequence.
