*- If the spare tyre wheel differs from thestandard tyre wheel, do not perform tyre rota-
tion using a spare wheel.CAUTIONl If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the
correct direction of rotation, swap the front and rear wheels on the left hand side of the
vehicle and the front and rear wheels on the
right hand side of the vehicle separately. Keep each tyre on its original side of the ve-hicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure the
arrows point in the direction in which the wheels will turn when the vehicle moves
forward. Any tyre whose arrow points in the
wrong direction will not perform to its full potential.Front
CAUTIONl Avoid the combined use of different types of
tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.Snow tyres
E01002001894
The use of snow tyres is recommended for
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving stability, mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.
Snow tyres worn more than 50% are no lon-
ger suitable for use as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must not be used.
CAUTIONl Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
l If your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine wheels should be used.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tyre pressure sensor properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” on page 6-48.NOTEl The laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu- lations in the area you intend to drive.
l If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are used.Tyre chains
E01002101794
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power
is distributed preferentially to the rear wheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fitted
on the rear in accordance with the manufac- turer’s instructions.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the incorrect size or type of chain
could result in damage to the vehicle body.
Before fitting tyre chains, we recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. The max. chain
height is as follows.
