General Description
Tires DescriptionS7RS0B2401001
The tire is of tubeless type. The tire is designed to
operate satisfactorily with loads up to the full rated load
capacity when inflated to the recommended inflation
pressures.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an
important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering,
excessively rapid acceleration, and unnecessary sharp
braking increase tire wear.
Tire Placard
The “Tire Placard” is located on the left or right door lock
pillar and should be referred to tire information.
The placard lists the maximum load, tire size and cold
tire pressure where applicable.
NOTE
Whether rim size and/or maximum load are
listed or not depends on regulations of each
country.

Inflation of Tires
The pressure recommended for any model is carefully
calculated to give a satisfacto ry ride, stability, steering,
tread wear, tire life and resistance to bruises.
Tire pressure, with tires cold, (after vehicle has set for 3
hours or more, or driven less than one mile) should be
checked monthly or before any extended trip. Set to the
specifications on the “Tire Placard” located on the left
door lock pillar.
It is normal for tire pressure to increase when the tires
become hot during driving.
Do not bleed or reduce tire pressure after driving.
Bleeding reduces the “Cold Inflation Pressure”.
Higher than recommended pressure can cause:
• Hard ride
• Tire bruising or carcass damage
• Rapid tread wear at center of tire
Unequal pressure on same axle can cause:
• Uneven braking
• Steering lead
• Reduced handling
• Swerve on acceleration

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Wheels and Tires: 2D-2
Lower than recommended pressure can cause:
• Tire squeal on turns
• Hard Steering
• Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread
• Tire rim bruises and rupture
• Tire cord breakage
• High tire temperature
• Reduced handling
• High fuel consumption
Replacement Tires
When replacement is necessary, the original equipment
type tire should be used. Refer to the Tire Placard.
Replacement tires should be of the same size, load
range and construction as those originally on the vehicle.
Use of any other size or type tire may affect ride,
handling, speedometer / odometer calibration, vehicle
ground clearance and tire or snow chain clearance to the
body and chassis.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on
the same axle. If necessary to replace only one tire, it
should be paired with the tire having the most tread, to
equalize braking traction.
WARNING!
Do not mix different types of tires on the
same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-
belted tires except in emergencies, because
handling may be seriously affected and may
result in loss of control.

The metric term for tire infl ation pressure is the kilo
pascal (kPa). Tire pressures is usually printed in both
kPa and kgf/cm
2 on the “Tire Placard”.
Metric tire gauges are available from tool suppliers.
The chart, shown the table, converts commonly used
inflation pressures from kPa to kgf/cm
2 and psi.
Wheels DescriptionS7RS0B2401002
Wheel Maintenance
Wheel repairs that use welding, heating, or peening are
not approved. All damaged wheels should be replaced.
Replacement Wheels
Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have
excessive lateral or radial runout, air leak through welds,
have elongated bolt holes, if lug wheel bolts won’t stay
tight, or if they are heavily rusted. Wheels with greater
runout than shown in the following may cause
objectional vibrations.
Replacement wheels must be equivalent to the original
equipment wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim with
offset and mounting configuration. A wheel of improper
size or type may affect wheel and bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer / odometer calibration, vehicle
ground clearance and tire clearance to body and
chassis.
How to Measure Wheel Runout
To measure the wheel runout, it is necessary to use an
accurate dial indicator. The tire may be on or off the
wheel. The wheel should be installed to the wheel
balancer of the like for proper measurement.
Take measurements of both lateral runout “a” and radial
runout “b” at both inside an d outside of the rim flange.
With the dial indicator set in place securely, turn the
wheel one full revolution slowly and record every reading
of the indicator.
When the measured runout exceeds the specification
and correction by the balancer adjustment is impossible,
replace the wheel. If the reading is affected by welding,
paint or scratch, it should be ignored.
Lateral runout limit “a”
: 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
Radial runout limit “b”
: 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)

Repair Instructions
General Balance ProceduresS7RS0B2406001
Deposits of mud, etc. must be cleaned from inside of rim.
WARNING!
Stones should be removed from the tread in
order to avoid operator injury during spin
balancing and to obtain good balance.

Each tire should be inspected for any damage, then
balanced according to equipment manufacturer’s
recommendation.
Off-Vehicle Balancing
Most electronic off-vehicle balancers are more accurate
than the on-vehicle spin balancers. They are easy to use
and give a dynamic (two plane) balance. Although they
do not correct for drum or disc unbalance as does on-
vehicle spin balancing, this is overcome by their
accuracy, usually to within 1/8 ounce.
On-Vehicle Balancing
On-vehicle balancing methods vary with equipment and
tool manufacturers. Be sure to follow each
manufacturer’s instructions during balancing operation.
WARNING!
Wheel spin should be limited to 55 km/h (35
mph) as indicated on speedometer.
This limit is necessary because speedometer
only indicates one-half of actual wheel speed
when one drive wheel is spinning and the
other drive wheel is stopped.
Unless care is taken in limiting drive wheel
spin, spinning wheel can reach excessive
speeds. This can result in possible tire
disintegration or differential failure, which
could cause serious personal injury or
extensive vehicle damage.

CAUTION!
Using on-vehicle balancing method with
ignition switch ON may set malfunction
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) of ESP® and
ABS even when system is in good condition.
Never turn ignition swit ch ON while spinning
wheel.

Tire RotationS7RS0B2406002
To equalize wear, rotate tires according to figure. Radial
tires should be rotated periodi cally. Set tire pressure.
[A]: Rotation direction is not indicated.
[B]: Rotation direction is indicated.

Tire Mounting and DismountingS7RS0B2406004
CAUTION!
When installing tire which has arrow
indicating tire rotation direction to wheel,
make sure that this tire rotation direction is
same as actual tire rotation direction when
vehicle is moving forward. Otherwise, it is
not possible to install wheel with tire to
vehicle in specified direction.

Use a tire changing machine to mount or dismount tires.
Follow equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Do not
use hand tools or tire irons al one to change tires as they
may damage tire beads or wheel rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire brush or
coarse steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and
light rust. Before mounting or dismounting a tire, bead
area should be well lubricated with approved tire
lubricant.
After mounting, inflate to specified pressure shown on
tire placard so that beads are completely seated.
WARNING!
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead
may break when bead snaps over rim’s safety
hump and cause serious personal injury.
Do not exceed 330 kpa (47.9 psi) pressure
when inflating. If 330 kpa (47.9 psi) pressure
will not seat beads, deflate, re-lubricate and
reinflate.
Over inflation may cause bead to break and
cause serious personal injury.

Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
Tire RepairS7RS0B2406005
There are many different materials and techniques on
the market to repair tires. As not all of these work on all
types of tires, tire manufacturers have published detailed
instructions on how and when to repair tires. These
instructions can be obtained from each tire
manufacturer.
