GENERAL
Good handling and maximum tire mileage are directly related
to the care of wheels and tires. Regularly inspect wheels and
tires for damage and wear. If handling problems occur, see
1.21 TROUBLESHOOTING or Table 2-9.
See 1.7 TIRES AND WHEELS for tire pressures. Keep tires
inflated to the recommended air pressure. Always balance
the wheel after replacing a tire.
11WARNING1WARNING
Do not inflate tire beyond maximum pressure as speci-
fied on sidewall. Over inflated tires can blow out, which
could result in death or serious injury. (00027a)
TROUBLESHOOTING
See Figure 2-3. Check tire inflation pressure at least once
each week. At the same time, inspect tire tread for punctures,
cuts, breaks and other damage. Repeat the inspection before
long trips.
