garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire Safety Information” (Cana-
da) in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
. Always use tires of the specified
type, size, brand, construction
(bias, bias-belted, radial or run-
flat), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Failure to do so may
result in a circumference differ-
ence between tires on the front
and rear axles which will cause
excessive tire wear and may da-
mage the transmission, transfer
case and differential gears.
Wheel balanceUnbalanced wheels may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Even with regular
use, wheels can get out of balance.
Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
Wheel balance service should be per-
formed with the wheels off the vehicle.
Spin balancing the rear wheels on the
vehicle could lead to mechanical damage.
For additional information regarding tires,
refer to “Important Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the Warranty Information
Booklet.

tance.
Blocking wheelsPlace suitable blocks
at both the front
and back of the wheel diagonally oppo-
site the flat tire to prevent the vehicle
