the chain manufacturer ’s recom-
mended speed limit, whichever is
lower.
DDrive carefully avoiding bumps,
holes, and sharp turns, which may
cause the vehicle to bounce.
DAvoid sharp turns or locked−wheel
braking as use of chains may ad-
versely affect vehicle handling.
DWhen driving with chains installed,
be sure to drive carefully. Slow
down before entering curves to
avoid losing control of the vehicle.
Otherwise an accident may occur.
WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR WHEELS
If you have wheel damage such as
bending, cracks or heavy corrosion, the
wheel should be replaced.
If you fail to replace a damaged wheel,
the tire may slip off the wheel or cause
loss of handling control.
WHEEL SELECTION
When replacing wheels, care should be
taken to ensure that the wheels are re-
placed by ones with the same load ca-
pacity, diameter, rim width, and inset
(single wheels) or offset (dual wheels).
Correct replacement wheels are available
at any authorized Toyota dealer or repair-
er, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
A wheel of a different size or type may
adversely affect handling, wheel and bear-
ing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odom-
eter calibration, stoppingability,headlight
aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clear-
ance, and tire or snow chain clearance to
the body and chassis.
Replacement with used wheels is not rec-
ommended as they may have been sub-
jected to rough treatment or high mileage
and could fail without warning. Also, bent
wheels which have been straightened may
have structural damage and therefore
should not be used. Never use an inner
tube in a leaking wheel which is designed
for a tubeless tire.
