WHEELS AND TIRES
NOTE:
All wheel fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital parts
and systems, and / or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of the same
part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement part
of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to as-
sure proper retention of all parts.
There is to be no welding as it may result in extensive damage and weakening of the metal.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TIRES
This vehicle is equipped with following tire. P215 / 65 R16, 215 / 65 R16 or 235 / 60 R16
The tires are of tubeless type. The tires are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to the full rated load
capacity when inflated to the recommended inflation pressure.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessively rapid
acceleration, and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
WHEELS
Standard equipment wheels are following steel wheel. 16 6 1 / 2 J or 16 7JJ
REPLACEMENT TIRES
When replacement is necessary, the original equipment type tire should be used. Refer to the Tire Placard. Re-
placement tires should be of the same size, load range and construction as those originally on the vehicle. Use
of any other size or type tire may affect ride, handling, speedometer / odometer calibration, vehicle ground clear-
ance and tire or snow chain clearance to the body and chassis.
NOTE:
Do not mix different types of tires on the same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-belted tires except in
emergencies, because vehicle handling may be seriously affected and may result in loss of control.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on the same axle. If necessary to replace only one tire, it
should be paired with the tire having the most tread, to equalize braking traction.
