Wheels and Tires General

Wheels and tires
General
To ensure vehicle safety, tires are not to be replaced individually, but rather at least on an axle basis.

The tires with the deeper tread should always be installed to the front wheels.

It is advisable to use tires of the same make, design and tread type on all wheels.

Always replace rubber valve when replacing disc wheel or tire.
Tires are to be installed with DOT mark facing outside of wheel; applies to left side of vehicle only in the case of tires with directional tread pattern.

A wheel/tire combination for the right side of the vehicle is to be installed as spare wheel in the case of tires with directional tread pattern.
