GUID-5D645B C0-1936-4CCB-9C94-6EA BD270F7CD
WARNING:
Do not install adeformed wheelortire even ifit
has been repaired. Suchwheels ortires could
have structural damageandcould failwithout
warning.
When replacing atire, usethesame size,speed rating
and load carrying capacity asoriginally equipped. (For
recommended typesandsizes oftires andwheels, see
ªTires andwheelsº (P.9-7) .)The useoftires other than
those recommended orthe mixed useoftires of
different brands,construction (bias,bias-belted, or
radial) ,or tread patterns canadversely affecttheride,
braking, handling, groundclearance, body-to-tire
clearance, snowchain clearance, speedometer cali-bration,
headlight aimand bumper height.Someof
these effects maylead toaccidents andcould resultin
serious personal injury.
If the wheels arechanged forany reason, always
replace withwheels whichhavethesame offset
dimension. Wheelsofadifferent offsetcouldcause
early tirewear, possibly degraded vehiclehandling
characteristics and/orinterference withthebrake
discs/drums. Suchinterference canlead todecreased
braking efficiency and/orearlybrake pad/shoe wear.
WHEEL BALANCE
GUID-EF 520D36-94 4C-4819-9F 18-969AB3E2512F
Unbalanced wheelsmayaffect vehicle handling and
tire life. Even withregular use,wheels cangetoutof
