NOTICE
Incorrect wheel weights can damage
your vehicle’s aluminium wheels.
Use only approved wheel weights.
The outside and inside of the unsym-
metrical tyre is distinguishable. When
installing an unsymmetrical tyre, be
sure to install the side marked “out-
side” face the outside. If the side
marked “inside” is installed on the out-
side, it will have a negative effect on
vehicle performance.

WARNING
• Do not use the compact spare tyre
for tyre rotation.
• Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tyres under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in
an accident.

If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band ac-
ros s the tread. This shows there is less
than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) of tread left on
the tyre. Replace the tyre when this
happens.
Wheel alignment and tyre
balance
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replacing
the tyre.
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 rebalanced.
