Using tires and wheel other than the
recommended sizes could cause unusual handling characteristics
and poor vehicle control, resulting in a serious
accident. | |
1. |
Measure the tread depth of the
tires.
Tread depth
[limit] : 1.6 mm (0.063
in)
| |
2. |
If the remaining tread depth (A) is less than
the limit, replace the tire.
When the tread depth of the tires is
less than 1.6 mm(0.063 in), the wear indicators (B) will
appear. |

Tire Rotation
Checking For Pull And
Wander |
If the steering pulls to
one side, rotate the tires according to the following wheel rotation
procedure.
1. |
Rotate the front right and front left tires,
and perform a road test in order to confirm vehicle
stability.
|
2. |
If the steering pulls to the opposite side,
rotate the front and rear tires, and perform a road test
again.
|
3. |
If the steering continues to pull to one side,
rotate the front right and left tires again, and perform a road
test.
|
4. |
If the steering continues to pull to the
opposite side, replace the front wheels with new ones.
|
1. |
Remove valve core and deflate the
tire. |
2. |
Remove the side of the tire bead area from the
wheel using tire changing machine .
•
|
The tire bead should be broken
approx. 90° from the valve side of the wheel. The bead
breaker should not be set too deep.
|
•
|
Avoid tire/tool contact with the
valve on dismount. |
•
|
Dismount should end near the
valve. | | |
3. |
Rotate the wheel clockwise.
|
1. |
Apply tire soap or lubrication to the top and
bottom tire beads.
|
2. |
To fit the bottom bead, position the valve at
the 5 o’clock position relative to the head on the tire changing
machine.
|
3. |
Place the tire on the rim so the bottom bead
touches the edge of the rim after the valve (6 o’clock). Rotate the
rim clockwise, and push down on the tire at the 3 o’clock position
to fit bottom bead.
|
4. |
After bottom bead is on tire, rotate the rim
until the valve is at the 5 o’clock position relative to the head on
the tire changing machine. Push down on the tire at the 3 o’clock
position and rotate the rim clockwise to fit the top bead.
|
5. |
Inflate the tire until both beads
seat.
