4 TIRES OF 4-WHEEL
DRIVE
CAUTION:
Always use tires of the same
size, brand, construction (bias,
bias-belted or radial), and tread
pattern on all four wheels.
Failure to do so may result in a
circumference
difference
between tires on the front and
rear axles which will cause
excessive tire wear and may
damage
the
transmission
transfer case and differential
gears.
If excessive tire wear is found, it is
recommended that all four tires be
replaced with tires of the same
size, brand, construction and
tread pattern. The tire pressure
and wheel alignment should also
be checked and corrected as
necessary.
Contact
your
PARSKHODRO dealer.
Snow tires
If you install snow tires, they must
also be the same size, brand,
construction and tread pattern on
tall four wheels.
CAUTION:
Only use spare tires specified
for each 4-wheel drive model.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the pressure in all tires,
including the spare, with a gauge
periodically when at a service
station. Adjust to the specified
pressure
if
necessary.
Tire
pressures are shown on the tire
placard affixed to the glove box.
Tire rotation
PARSKHODRO recommends that
tires be rotated every 5,000 km .
Do not include the temporary
spare tire in the tire rotation.
Tire chain
Tire chains must be installed only
on the rear wheels and not on the
front wheels.
Do not drive with tire chains on
paved roads which are clear of
snow. Driving with chains in such
conditions can cause damage to
the various mechanisms of the
vehicle due to some overstress.
When driving on clear paved
roads, be sure to change to 2WD.
