Tires: Service and Repair
TireINSPECTION
1. Take stone, glass, nail etc. off the tread groove.
2. Replace tire:
CAUTION:
^ When replacing a tire, make sure to use only the same size, construction and load range as originally installed.
^ Avoid mixing radial, belted bias or bias tires on the vehicle.
1. When large crack on side wall, damage or crack on tread is found.
2. When the tread wear indicator appears as a solid band across the tread.
3. When extremely biased wear on tire tread can been seen, after replacing tire, check wheel alignment.
TIRE ROTATION
If tires are maintained at the same positions for a long period of time, uneven wear results. Therefore, they should be periodically rotated.
This lengthens service life of tires.
CAUTION: When rotating tires, replace unevenly worn or damaged tires with new ones.
