Description
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the best overall performance for normal
operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle’s requirements. With proper care they will give
excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread life.
Tire Identification
•Tire type, size, load index and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on the side wall
of the tire.
Spare Tire
• A full size spare tire and wheel assembly is standard equipment on this vehicle. The original tire should be
repaired or replaced at the first opportunity, then reinstalled.
Operation
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain, in most cases, much
greater mileage than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driving habits which will shorten the life of any tire
are:
•Rapid acceleration
• Severe application of brakes
• High-speed driving
• Taking turns at excessive speeds
• Striking curbs and other obstacles
• Operating vehicle with over or under inflated tire pressures

Vehicle Inspection
Visual inspection of the vehicle is recommended prior to road testing or performing any other procedure. Raise the
vehicle on a suitable hoist.
Inspect the following:
•Inspect tires and wheels for damage, mud packing and unusual wear; correct as necessary.
• Check and adjust tire pressure to the pressure listed on the label attached to the driver’s door opening.
Tire and Wheel Vibration
Tire and wheel imbalance, runout and force variation can cause vehicles to exhibit steering wheel vibration.
NOTE :
Balance equipment must be calibrated and maintained per equipment manufacturer’s specifications.
Tire Wear Patterns
Tire wear patterns can be traced to the following tire conditions:
•Under inflation will cause wear on the shoulders of tire.
• Over inflation will cause wear at the center of tire.
• Excessive camber causes the tire to run at an angle to the road. One side of tread is then worn more than the
other.
• Excessive toe-in or toe-out causes wear on the tread edges and a feathered effect across the tread.
NOTE :
Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. When tread depth is 1.6 mm, the tread wear
indicators will appear as a band. Tire replacement is necessary when indicators appear in two or more grooves, or
if localized balding occurs.
Wheel Out-Of-Round Inspection
• Raise vehicle and securely support it.
• Attach a dial indicator on the edge of the rim and measure its unevenness.
• Replace the rim if necessary.10

Tire Repair
Description
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the best overall performance for normal
operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle’s requirements. With proper care they will give
excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread life.
WARNING!
Failure to equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire failure.
In order to maintain the speed capability of the vehicle, replacement tires must have speed ratings equal to or
higher than those fitted to the vehicle as original equipment. If tires with lower speed ratings are fitted, the vehi-
cle’s handling may be affected and the speed capability of the vehicle may be lowered to the maximum speed
capability of the replacement tires. To avoid an accident resulting in severe or fatal injury, consult the tire man-
ufacturer in regards to maximum speed ratings.
Replacement Procedure
Note the following guidelines when replacing a tire:
•It is recommended that tires equivalent to the original equipment tires be used when replacement is needed.
• Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the safety and handling of the vehicle.
• The use of tires smaller than the minimum tire size approved for the vehicle can result in tire overloading and
failure.
• Use tires that have the approved load rating for the vehicle and never overload them.
• Failure to equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire failure and
loss of vehicle control.
• The use of oversize tires may cause interference with vehicle components. Under extremes of suspension and
steering travel, interference with vehicle components may cause tire damage.
Perform the following when replacing a tire: 1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts and the wheel assembly.
3. Deflate the tire completely before removing the tire from the wheel.
4. Use lubrication such as a mild soap solution when dismounting or mounting tire.
5. Replace the tire with a tire approved for the vehicle.
6. Use tools free of burrs or sharp edges which could damage the tire or wheel rim.
7. Before mounting tire on wheel, make sure all rust is removed from the rim bead and repaint if necessary.
8. Balance the wheel assembly.
9. Install the wheel assembly and install the wheel mounting nuts. (Tighten: Wheel mounting nuts to 110 N·m)
Repair Procedure
Note the following guidelines when performing a tire repair:
•For proper repairing, a radial tire must be removed from the wheel.
• Repairs should only be made if the defect, or puncture, is in the tread area.
• The tire should be replaced if the puncture is located in the sidewall.
Perform the following when repairing a tire: 1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts and the wheel assembly.
3. Deflate the tire completely before removing the tire from the wheel.
4. Use lubrication such as a mild soap solution when dismounting or mounting tire.
5. Repair the tire only if the defect, or puncture, is in the tread area.
6. Use tools free of burrs or sharp edges which could damage the tire or wheel rim.
7. Before mounting tire on wheel, make sure all rust is removed from the rim bead and repaint if necessary.

Wheel Assembly
Description
Original equipment wheels are designed for operation up to the specified maximum vehicle capacity.
Inspect wheels for the following:
•Dents or cracks
• Damaged wheel bolt holes
• Air leaks from any area or surface of the rim
• Excessive run out
NOTE :
Do not attempt to repair a wheel by hammering, heating or welding.
NOTE :
The wheel nuts are designed for specific applications. Do not use replacement bolts with a different design or lesser
quality.
Removal & Installation
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. If the vehicle is equipped with wheel center caps that cover the wheel nuts, remove the cap with an appropriate removal tool utilizing the notch located between the wheel and the outer edge of the cap.
NOTE: Use care not to damage the finish on the wheel.
3. Remove the wheel mounting nuts (2) with a suit- able tool and remove the wheel assembly (1).
(Tighten: Wheel mounting nuts to 110 N·m)
4. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Wheel Balance
Description
Balance the wheel assembly as necessary following the wheel balancer manufacturer’s instructions.
• Road test the vehicle for at least 5 miles.
• If the vibration persists, continue with Diagnosis & Testing procedure.
NOTE :
• Balance equipment must be calibrated and maintained per equipment manufacturer’s specifications.
• Wheel weight must fit the rim.

1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts and the wheelassembly.
3. Perform a dynamic balance test.
NOTE :
A wheel requiring 5g or less of weight per side is con-
sidered to be within the proper specifications for a
wheel balance. 4. Install the appropriate wheel weights on the inner (2) and outer (1) edges of the rim until the wheel is
balanced within specifications.
NOTE :
Not more than one wheel weight can be attached to
each side of the wheel, with its maximum weight not
exceeding 40g.
CAUTION:
Use caution not to damage wheel weights dur-
ing tire and wheel installation.
5. Install the wheel assembly and install the wheel mounting nuts.
(Tighten: Wheel mounting nuts to 110 N·m)
Tire Rotation
Description
Tires on the front and rear operate at different loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions.
For these reasons they wear at unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear patterns. These effects can be
reduced by rotating the tires at regular intervals.
The benefits of tire rotation are:
•Increase tread life
• Maintain traction levels
• A smooth, quiet ride
