Wheels: Description and Operation

Wheels and Tires

WARNING:
^ Do not re-use any fasteners that are worn or deformed in normal use.
^ Some fasteners are designed to be used only once, and are unreliable and may fail if used a second time. This includes, but is not limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and cotter pins. Always follow the recommendations in these procedures - replace these fasteners with new parts where indicated, and any other time it is deemed necessary by inspection.

Notes:
^ For safety reasons, the tires should be replaced in pairs for one axle at a time or for both axles together; not individually.
^ Always install tires with the deepest tread on the front axle.
^ It is recommended to use tires of the same make, design and tread pattern on all four wheels.
^ Install a new valve stem when installing a new wheel or tire.
^ If using tires with a directional tread pattern, the spare tire should be mounted on the wheel with the tread pattern facing the same way as the tires on the right-side of the vehicle.
