Warning
Be sure to check the wheel studs,
wheel nuts and disc wheel for any
abnormality whenever the disc
wheel is removed.
If you find any abnormal condition
on the wheel studs, wheel nuts or
disc wheel, do not continue to use
the wheel. Contact the nearest
dealer as soon as possible
Tires at different locations wear
differently. For uniform tire wear and
longer tire life, you should rotate the
tires on your vehicle regularly. Make
sure to use tires of the same type
on the same axle. If you install tires
of different types on the same axle,
the vehicle may drift right or left
when you apply the brakes.
New tires are more likely to build up
heat and wear faster than old tires,
so they should be installed on the
front axle where the load is smaller.
If there is a difference in diameter
between the inner and outer tires of
a dual-tire wheel, install the smaller
diameter tire inside.
The difference in diameter of the
tires for a dual-tire wheel should be
within the limit specified in the table
below. If the limit is exceeded, the
tires wear more rapidly than they
should.
Example

Warning
If differently sized tires are used
between the front and rear axles,
do not exchange tires between
the front and rear axles;
otherwise, the tires get loaded
beyond their limits. This is highly
dangerous because the tires and
disc wheels could break down
under an excessive load. You and
others could be seriously injured.
