WARNING
Mixing tires
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply tires
under any circumstances. This may
cause unusual handling characteristics.
Wheel alignment and tire balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned
and balanced carefully at the factory to
give you the longest tire life and best
overall performance.
If you notice unusual tire wear or your
vehicle pulling one way or the other, the
alignment may need to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating when
driving on a smooth road, your wheels
may need to be rebalanced.
CAUTION
Wheel weight
Improper wheel weights can damage
your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use
only approved wheel weights.
Tire replacement
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread.
[A] : Tread wear indicator
This shows there is less than 1.6 mm (1/
16 in) of tread left on the tire. Replace
the tire when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replacing
the tire.
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) works
by comparing the speed of the wheels.
The tire size affects wheel speed. When
replacing tires, all 4 tires must use the
same size originally supplied with the
vehicle. Using tires of a different size can
cause the ABS and Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) to work irregularly.
It is best to replace all four tires at the
same time. If that is not possible, or nec
-
essary, then replace the two front or two
rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one
