WHEEL AND TIRE SYSTEM > Tire and Wheel
INSPECTION
1. TIRE
CAUTION:
When replacing a tire, make sure to use tires of the same size, construction and load range as originally installed.
1. Tire size and tire inflation pressure check General Description > SPECIFICATION">
2. Cracks, damage and wear check
3. Tire runout check
(1) Lift up the vehicle.
(2) Slowly rotate the wheel to check rim “runout” using a dial gauge.

• Aluminum wheel
Axial runout limit | Radial runout limit |
1.0 mm (0.039 in) | |
• Steel wheel
Axial runout limit | Radial runout limit |
1.5 mm (0.059 in) | |
(3) If the rim runout exceeds service limit, replace the wheel.
2. TIRE ROTATION
NOTE:
Rotate tires periodically (9,600 km/6,000 miles) in order to prolong life and to prevent uneven wear.
Rotate tires as shown in the figure depending on whether or not the direction of the tire rotation is specified.
• When the direction of tire rotation is not specified

(1) | Front side of vehicle |
• When the direction of tire rotation is specified

(1) | Front side of vehicle |
3. WHEEL BALANCING
1. Using the wheel balancer, measure wheel balance.
2. Adjust the wheel balancing.
NOTE:
• Unbalance after adjusting the wheel balancing should be 5 g (0.18 oz) or less.
• When using the adhesive type weight, degrease the surface where the adhesive type weight will be applied securely.
• After applying the adhesive type weight, apply a force to the weight and attain full adhesion.
• Using the knock-on type weight, check the size of the knock-on part.

(1) | Knock-on type weight for aluminum wheel |
(2) | Knock-on type weight for steel wheel |
Service limit A:
Knock-on type weight for steel wheel: 2.0 mm (0.079 in)
Knock-on type weight for aluminum wheel: 5.0 mm (0.197 in)
