WHEELS
GENERAL
Good handling and maximum tire mileage are directly related
to the care of wheels and tires. Regularly inspect wheels and
tires for damage and wear. If handling problems occur, see
.
See
for tire pressures. Keep tires
inflated to the recommended air pressure. Always balance the
wheel after replacing a tire.
Do not inflate tire beyond maximum pressure as specified
on sidewall. Over inflated tires can blow out, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00027a)
TROUBLESHOOTING
. Check tire inflation pressure at least once each
week. At the same time, inspect tire tread for punctures, cuts,
breaks and other damage. Repeat the inspection before long
trips.
