WHEELS AND TIRES Q FRONT BALANCE WEIGHT TIRE ROTATION To prolong tire life and assure uniform tire wear, rotate the tires as specified below except the "TEMPORAARY- USE ONLY spair tire. After rotating the tires, adjust each tire to the specified air pressure. (Refer to page Q-3.) U.S.A: Every 6,000 km (3,750 miles) Canada: Every 24,000 km (15,000 miles) or 15 monthes (Whichever comes first) WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT If a wheel becomes unbalanced or if a tire is replaced or repaired, the wheel must be rebalanced to within specifi- cation. When balancing a wheel: (1) Use no more than two balance weights on the inner or outer side of the wheel. (2) One balance weight should weigh no more than 60g {2.1 oz}. If the total weight of all the balance weights on one side exceeds 1009 I3.53 oz}, then reba- lance after repositioning the tire on the rim. (3) Select suitable balance weights for steel or alumi- num alloy wheels. Caution Using an on-vehicle balancer may cause damage to the transmission. Always use an off-vehicle balancer whenever balancing a wheel@). Maximum unbalance (at rim edge): 10 g (0.35 oz) Gartner Banana
