Wheels and Tires: Description and Operation
Wheels And TiresWARNING: Do not mix different types of tires on the same vehicle such as radial, bias or bias-belted tires except in emergencies (temporary spare usage), because vehicle handling may be seriously affected and may result in loss of control. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: When removing adhesive stick-on weights from wheels, use a plastic scraper to prevent damaging the wheels' protective finish.
Factory-installed tires and wheels are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to and including full-rated load capacity when inflated to recommended inflation pressures.
Correct tire pressure and driving techniques have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
To equalize tire wear, the tires should be rotated at recommended intervals.
