HA1409Spare tyre SI060A1-E TYRE BALANCING Incorrect tyre balance will cause steer- ing vibration and uneven tyre wear. The vehicle tyres are balanced during production but may need further bal-ancing throughout the life of the tyres.It is recommended that the tyres bebalanced on the car for best results and that the tyres are balanced when- ever they have been removed from thewheel for repair.
I060A01FC-EAT TYRE ROTATION The tyre wear characteristics will vary between each tyre dependant upon theconditions of use. It is normal for the front tyres to wear more rapidly than those fitted to the rear of the vehicleand therefore tyre rotation will provide a means of helping to ensure an even wear rate across the tyre set. Forvehicles fitted with radial ply tyres, rotation should be confined to front to rear tyre alternation. It is not recom-mended that radial ply tyres be rotated from side to side. NOTE:
o Do not use the temporary spare
tyre for tyre rotation.
o Aluminium wheels which are not supplied as Original Equipment should not be mixed on the same vehicle with the original steel wheels. However, it is acceptable that the steel spare wheel be used in conjunction with Original Equipment aluminium wheels since the offset of both wheels is compatible. Radial and cross ply tyres should not be mixed on the same vehicle.
