Tire Care
REPLACEMENT WHEELS AND
TIRES
WARNING: For your safety, it is
recommended that only wheels and
tires that match the original specification are
used on the vehicle.
WARNING: Operation of the TPMS
may be affected if the tires are
replaced with a different specification to the
originals.
Wheel rims and tires are matched to suit the
handling characteristics of the vehicle.
Always check that replacement tires
comply with the original specification. If
tires other than those specified are used,
ensure that the load and speed ratings
(shown on the tire side wall) equal or exceed
those of the original specification.
For the specification of the original wheels
and tires installed on the Karma, refer to
Wheels and Tires
, page 9.5.
Ideally, tires should be replaced as sets of
four. If this is not possible, replace the tires
in pairs (front and rear). When tires are
replaced, the wheels should always be
re-balanced and alignment checked.
Asymmetric tires
WARNING: Road holding will be
seriously impaired if the tires are
incorrectly installed on the wheels.
Your vehicle is fitted with asymmetric tires
which must be mounted on the wheel with
the correct sidewall facing outwards from
the vehicle. In this case, the sidewall of the
tire is marked with the words THIS SIDE
OUTWARDS. Equally the inward facing
sidewall is marked THIS SIDE INWARDS.
When new tires have been installed, always
make sure that the tires are correctly
orientated to the wheel.
