Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear abnormally. Here are
some important maintenance points:

Tire Inflation Pressure

Inspect all tire pressure monthly (including the spare) when the tires are cold. Maintain
recommended pressures for the best ride, top handling, and minimum tire wear. Use the
pressures specified on the vehicle tire information placard or tire label for optimum service.

Tire Rotation

To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or sooner if irregular
wear develops. During rotation, inspect them for correct balance.

Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY).

spare tire in rotation.

Inspect the tires for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by one or a
combination of the following: - Incorrect tire pressure - Improper wheel alignment - Out-of-balance wheel
- Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to specification and inspect the lug nuts
for tightness.

CAUTION:
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires that have an asymmetrical tread pattern
or studs only from front to rear, not from side to side. Tire performance will be
weakened if rotated from side to side.

(With limited-slip differential).

Don't use the following: Tires not of the designated size
Tires of different sizes or types at the same time
Tires not sufficiently inflated
If these instructions aren't followed, the rotation of the left and right wheels will be
different and will thus apply a constant load on the limited-slip differential.

This will cause a malfunction.

Replacing a Tire

WARNING:
Always use tires that are in good condition: Driving with worn tires is dangerous. Reduced braking, steering, and traction could
result in an accident.

If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will appear as a solid band across the tread. Replace
the tire when this happens.

You should replace it before the band is across the entire tread.

NOTE:
Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used on the road. It is recommended that tires
generally be replaced when they are 6 years or older. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging process. Regarding the manufacturing week and year is
indicated with 4 digit. Refer to The tire labeling.

Safety Practices

The way you drive has a great deal to do with your tire mileage and safety. So cultivate
good driving habits for your own benefit.

- Observe posted speed limits - Avoid fast starts, stops and turns - Avoid potholes and objects on the road - Do no run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking

CAUTION:
If you feel a sudden vibration or ride disturbance while driving or you suspect your
tire or vehicle has been damaged, immediately reduce your speed. Drive with caution
until you can safely pull off the road. Stop and inspect the tire for damage. If the tire
is under-inflated or damaged, deflate it, remove the tire and rim and replace it with
your spare tire. If you cannot detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest
vehicle or tire dealer to have the vehicle inspected.
