Tires/Wheels
WARNING
When the tires are replaced, never
install a bias tire with a radial tire.
Such a combination could create
handling and/or stability prob-
lems.
Donotmixtiresofdifferentsize
and/or design on the same axle.
Front and rear tire pairs must be
the identical model and manufac-
turer.
For unidirectional tread pattern,
ensure that the tires are installed
in the correct direction of rotation.
The radial tires must be installed
as a complete set.
Severe injury or death can result
if you do not follow these instruc-
tions.
Tire Pressure
WARNING
Tire pressure greatly affects vehi-
cle handling and stability. Under-
pressure may cause tire to deflate
and rotate on wheel. Overpres-
suremayburstthetire. Always
follow recommended pressure.
Since tires are low-pressure types,
a manual pump should be used.
Check pressure when tires are “cold”
before using the vehicle. Tire pres-
sure changes with temperature and
altitude. Recheck pressure if one of
these conditions has changed.
For your convenience, a pressure
gauge is supplied in tool box.

Although the tires are specifically de-
signed for off-road use, a flat may still
occur. Therefore, it is recommended
to carry a tire pump and a repair kit.
Tire/Wheel Condition
Check tire for damage and wear. Re-
place if necessary.
Do not make a tire rotation. The front
and rear tires have a different size.
The tires are directional and their ro-
tation must be kept in a specific direc-
tion for proper operation.
Wheel Removal
Loosen nuts then lift vehicle. Place a
support under vehicle. Remove nuts
then remove wheel.
At installation, it is recommended to
apply antiseize lubricant on threads.
Gently tighten nuts in a criss-cross se-
quence then apply a final torque of
75 N•m(55lbf•ft).
