CAUTION
• Break in new tires by driving 200 km (125
miles) or more at 60 km/h (37 mph) or less.
After this run-in period, check tire pressure.
• If using different tread patterns on the front
and rear wheels, select tires with a ribbed
tread for the front wheels and tires with a
traction-type tread for the rear wheels.
WARNING
• Be sure to use the specified type of tires.
Mixing bias and radial tires results in poor
steering and should be avoided at all cost.
• As the vehicle is driven after a wheel has
been replaced, the wheel nuts loosen up
somewhat during the early stages of driv-
ing due to “wear-in”. Therefore, it is neces-
sary to retighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque after driving 50 to 100 km
(30 to 60 miles). Thereafter, retighten the
nuts at regular intervals.
• If as a result of tire rotation, an additionally
painted face of the disk wheel mounting
face becomes the mounting face for the
mating part (wheel hub and disk wheel),
remove the paint from the mounting face
of the disk wheel and the seating face of
the wheel nut, clean these surfaces with a
wire brush or the like, and then install the
wheel.
If you use the mounting faces without
removing the paint, the wheel nuts are
likely to become loose because the paint
film is thick.
