The amount of wear on a tire depends on its posi-
tion on the vehicle. To equalize wear and extend life
as much as possible, rotate the tires at regular inter-
vals.
Tire rotation pattern
•
Plan the rotation pattern of tires so that their
rotating directions are reversed.
•
Use a tire of the same type on a single axle. If
different type tires are mounted on an axle, the
vehicle tends to pull to one side during braking,
and could cause you to lose directional control
of the vehicle.
•
Be sure to use the following type of tires.
FK: 225/70R 19.5
FM: 11R 22.5 – 14PR
CAUTION
•
Break in new tires by driving 200 km (125
miles) or longer at 60 km/h (37 MPH) or
slower. After the break-in driving period,
check the tire pressure of each of the new
tires.
•
If using different tread patterns on the front
and rear wheels, select tires with a ribbed
tread for the front wheels and tires with a
traction-type tread for the rear wheels.
NOTE:
When tires are new, they tend to generate heat and
wear more quickly.

WARNING
•
Be sure to use the specified type of tires.
Mixing bias and radial tires results in poor
steering and should be avoided at all
costs.
•
As the vehicle is driven after a wheel has
been replaced, the wheel nuts loosen up
somewhat during the early stages of driv-
ing due to “wear-in”. Therefore, it is neces-
sary to retighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque after driving 50 to 100 km
(30 to 60 miles) Thereafter, retighten the
nuts at regular intervals.
