TIRE
INFLATION

Correct
tire

pressure
is

very
impor

tant
for

steering
ease
and

riding
com

fort
Correct

pressure
also
makes
for

a

quieter
ride

and
extends
tire
life

If

all
tires

are

inspected
frequently

and
maintained

at
correct

pressure

any

sharp
objects
in
tread
can
be

quickiy
detected
nd
abnormal

wear

which
invites
serious

problems
can
be

avoided

After

inflating
tires
valves

should

be
checked
for

leakage
Without

valve

caps
leakage
will
occur

due
to
dirt
and

water

resulting
in

underinflation
Ac

cordingly
whenever
tire

pressure
is

checked
be
sure
to

tighten
vaive

caps

firmly
by
hand

TIRE

ROTATION

Tires
tend

to
wear

unevenly
and

become
unbalanced
after
a
certain

running
distance
Uneven

tire
wear

often
results
in
tire
noise
which
is

attributed
to

rear
axle

gears
bearing

etc

Front
tires
also

tend
to
wear

unevenly
because
of

improperly
align

ed
front

wheels

Accordingly
to

equalize
tire
wear

it
is

necessary
to
rotate
tires

cally
as
recommended

INSPECTION

WHEEL
BALANCE

The
wheel
and
tire

assembly
should

be

kept
balanced

statically
and

dy

namically

Proper
tire
balance
is

necessary

when

driving
the
car
at

high

speeds

Consequently
the

wheel
and
tire

as

sembly
should
be

properly
rebalanced

whenever

puncture
is

repaired

The
wheel
and
tire

assembly
be

comes
out

of
balance
according
to

uneven
tire

wear
Severe
acceleration

and

braking
or
fast

cornering
is

the

cause
of
wear
on
tire

resulting
in

unbalance
