rating. There is a risk of an accident. The manu~
facturer of your vehicle strongly suggests that you use wheels and tires that have been rec~ommended by the vehicle manufacturer for
your vehicle type. '

wheels
between
axles

can be sealed temporarily to enable continued travel. To accomplish this, sealant is pumped
into the tires, which seals the damage from the
inside.
