wheel alignment MITSUBISHI L200 2011 Owner's Manual (in English)

When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incor-
rect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out
of balance wheel, or severe braking. We recom-
mend you to have it checked to determine the
cause of irregular tread wear.Spare tyre used*Spare tyre not usedFrontFrontFrontTyres that have arrows showing rotation direction
*- If the spare tyre wheel differs from the stand-
ard tyre wheel, do not perform tyre rotation us-
ing a spare wheel.
CAUTIONl If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating
the correct direction of rotation, swap the
front and rear wheels on the left hand
side of the vehicle and the front and rear
wheels on the right hand side of the vehi-
cle separately. Keep each tyre on its origi-
nal side of the vehicle. When fitting the
tyres, make sure the arrows point in the
direction in which the wheels will turn
when the vehicle moves forward. Any
tyre whose arrow points in the wrong di-
rection will not perform to its full poten-
tial.Front
CAUTIONl Avoid the combined use of different types
of tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.Snow tyres E01002000725
The use of snow tyres is recommended for driving
on snow and ice. To preserve driving stability,
mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pat-
tern on all 4 wheels.
Snow tyres worn more than 50% are no longer suit-
able for use as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must
not be used.CAUTIONl Observe permissable maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
NOTE
l The laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu-
lations in the area you intend to drive.
l If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are
used.
Tyre chains E01002101534
It is recommended that snow chains are carried in
snow regions and fitted when required to the rear
wheels.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power is dis-
tributed preferentially to the rear wheels, ensure
that the tyre chains are fitted on the rear.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use
with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the in-
correct size or type of chain could result in damage
to the vehicle body.
