WHEELS AND TIRES
NOTE:
All wheel fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital parts
and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of the same part
number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement part of
lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to assure
proper retention of all parts.
There is to be no welding as it may result in extensive damage and weakening of the metal.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TIRES
This vehicle is equipped with the following tire.
145/70 SR12 or 5.65-12-4PR
The tire is of tubeless type. The tire is designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to the full rated load capacity
when inflated to the recommended inflation pressures.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessively rapid
acceleration, and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
WHEELS
Standard equipment wheels are the following steel wheel.

REPLACEMENT TIRES
When replacement is necessary, the original equipment type tire should be used. Refer to TIRE PLACARD. Re-
placement tires should be of the same size, load range and construction as those originally on the vehicle. Use
of any other size or type tire may affect ride, handling, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle ground clear-
ance and tire or snow chain clearance to the body and chassis.
