Cold tire inflation pressure:





When driving under the above vehicle conditions at sustained high speeds above 160 km/h (100 mph), in countries where such speeds are permitted by law, inflate the front and rear tires to 240 kPa (2.4 kgf/cm2, 35 psi) provided that it does not exceed the maximum cold tire inflation pressure molded on the tire sidewall.






(b) Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the tires.
Tire runout:
1.4 mm (0.055 in.) or less
