2) Typical Inspection
Tread
Inspect the tread condition on the tire surface
and various damages resulting from the
foreign materials, crack, stone or nail etc. If
there is any damage in the tire, repair or
replace it. 1.
Wear limit 2.
Measure the depth of the tire tread. If the
depth of the tread is below the specified
value, replace the tire -
You can see the protruded part in the
groove at the point with mark "▲", which
is the indicator of the tread wear limit.
The limit of the tread wear for all season
tires are 1.6 mm, which is the same as the
general tires, but the wear limit mark is
indicated as '↓'. -
-
Wear limit 1.6 mm
Higher than recommended pressure can cause hard ride, tire bruising or damage and rapid tread
wear at the center of the tire.
Excessive tire wear over the limit of the tread wear (1.6 mm) can cause lower sliding friction due to
longer braking distance, easy tire burst by foreign materials, tire hydroplaning, and tough brake and
steering wheel handling. -

Measure the dial runout and lateral runout
on both the inboard and outboard rim
flanges. - Tire inflation pressure -
Check the tire inflation pressure by
inspecting the tread width. -
Specified value 2.66 mm
Wheel runout
If wheel runout or tire runout is excessive, it
could result in abnormal wear of the tire.
Measure the runout with a dial gauge. 4.
Measure free radial runout on the tire tread. -
Specified value 2.03 mm
If any measurement exceeds the above
specifications, replace the applicable tires
or wheels -Tire inflation pressure 3.
Specified value 32 psi
Maintaining the specified tire ressure is
essential for comfortable riding, driving
safety, and long tire life. Incorrect inflation
pressures will increase tire wear and will
impair safety, vehicle handling, comfortable
driving and fuel economy. Always make sure
that the tire inflation pressure is correct.

Wheel balance 5.
Check the wheel balance when the wheel
is unbalanced or the tire is repaired.
The total weight of the wheel weight
should not exceed 150 g.
Ensure that the balance weight installed is
not projected over 3mm from the wheel
surface.
Use the specified aluminum wheel balance
weights for aluminum wheels.
Weight balance can be added by 5 g.
There are two types of weight balance,
tape type and adhesion type. -
-
-
-
-
-
Make sure to read the manual of the
manufacturer thoroughly before using
wheel balance tester. -
Change tire location
To avoid uneven wear of tires and to prolong
tire life, inspect and rotate your tires every
5,000 km. 6.
Mixing tires could cause to lose control while driving. Be sure to use the same size and type tires of
the same manufacturer on all wheels. -

1. OVERVIEW
A radial tire uses a cord angle of 90 degrees. That is, the cord material runs in a radial or direct line from
one bead to the other across the tread. In addition, a radial tire has a belt overwrap under the tread
surface to provide greater structural stability. The belt overwrap of a radial tire distortion while the radial
structure enables high speed driving.
Tire supports the weight of the vehicle, reduces the impact from the road and at the same time, transmits

movement. In order to complete such tasks, a tire must be structured to be a resilient vessel of air.
There is wear limit mark on the tire, which protrudes as a strip shape located approximately 1.6 mm from
the groove bottom. This wear limit mark is not seen from the outside so there is additional "▲"
mark on the shoulder to let the driver find the wear mark easily. To measure the tire groove depth,
measure at any point other than the point which has a wear limit mark.
The tire is worn unevenly according to the driver's driving habit, improper servicing, low tire inflation
pressure, changed tire location, etc.
