TYRE BALANCING
Incorrect tyre balance will cause steering vibra-
tion and uneven tyre wear. The vehicle tyres
are balanced during production but may need
further balancing throughout the life of the tyres.
It is recommended that the tyres be balanced
on the car for best results and that the tyres are
balanced whenever they have been removed
from the wheel for repair.

SNOW TYRES
If you equip your car with snow tyres, they
should be the same size and have the same
load capacity as the original tyres. Do not drive
faster than 70 mph (112 Km/h) when your car is
equipped with snow tyres.

TYRE CHAINS
Tyre chains, if necessary, should be installed
on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are
the proper size and that they are installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
To minimize tyre and chain wear, do not con-
tinue to use tyre chains when they are no longer
needed.
WARNING:
When driving on roads covered with snow
or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30 km/h).

TYRE REPLACEMENT
Wear indicator
0.06 in.(1.6 mm)
HGK248
Tyres must be replaced when the wear indica-
tors appear as a solid bar across the tyre tread.
At this point, the remaining tread depth will be
approximately 0.06 in.(1.6 mm). In addition to
this, the tyre must be replaced if any portion of
the tread has become bald or if there are any
lumps, bulges or deep cuts in the sidewalls or
tread.
Replacement tyres must be of the recommended
size and rating and should be of the same
manufacture and tread pattern on each axle.

TYRE ROTATION
Tyre wear will vary for each wheel. In order to
increase the life of each tyre and keep wear
uniform, tyre rotation should be performed ev-
ery 3,000 miles as shown in figure.
NOTE:
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply under any
circumstances. This may cause dangerous
handling characteristics.
