Replacing tyres and wheels
E01007201820
CAUTION
l
Avoid using different size tyres from the one
listed and the combined use of different
types of tyres, as this can affect driving safe-
ty.
Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 12-09.
l
Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor-
rectly. We recommend you to consult a spe-
cialist before using wheels that you have.
l
As your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE wheels should be
used. Use of another type of wheel risks air
leaks and sensor damage, as it will not be
possible to install the tyre pressure sensor
properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” on page 7-92.
NOTE
l
A steel wheel with diameter of 16 inches
cannot be used on your vehicle because it in-
terferes with brake parts.
Additionally, an aluminium wheel with di-
ameter of 16 inches may not be used on your
vehicle depending on its type, even if a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE wheel.
Consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point before using wheels that
you have.
Tyre rotation
E01001902516
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,
road surface conditions and individual driv-
er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear and
help extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-
tate the tyres immediately after discovery of
abnormal wear, or whenever the wear differ-
ence between the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually
caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper
wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or se-
vere braking. We recommend you to have it
checked to determine the cause of irregular
tread wear.
