Tyres and wheels
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. The recommended cold
tyre pressure for your vehicle can be
found in this manual and on the tyre
label located on the driver's side
centre pillar.
Tyre rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recom
-
mended that the tyres be rotated
every 10,000 km (6,500 miles) or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tyres for
correct balance.
When rotating tyres, check for
uneven wear and damage. Abnormal
wear is usually caused by incorrect
tyre pressure, improper wheel
alignment, out of-balance wheels,
severe braking or severe cornering.
Look for bumps or bulges in the
tread or side of tyre. Replace the
tyre if you find either of these con
-
ditions. Replace the tyre if fabric or
cord is visible. After rotation, be
sure to bring the front and rear tyre
pressures to specification and check
lug nut tightness. (proper torque is
11~13 kgf󳚢m)
Refer to "Tyres and wheels" on page
9-8.
Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tyres are
rotated.
Rotate radial tyres that have an
asymmetric tread pattern only from
front to rear and not from right to
left.
WARNING
Mixing tyres
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tyres under any circumstances. This
may cause unusual handling charac

teristics.
Wheel alignment and tyre balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tyre
life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tyre
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 rebal
