2E-4 TIRE AND WHEELS
TIRE LABEL
The tire label is permanently located on the rear face
of the driver’s door and should be referred to for tire
information. It lists the maximum vehicle load, the tire
size (including the spare tire), and the cold inflation
pressure (including the spare tire).
S PARE TIRE
This vehicle comes equipped with a full-sized spare
tire and wheel.
The temporary spare tire is designed for emergency
use only. The original tire should be repaired or replaced
at the first opportunity and reinstall.
WHEELS
Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have
excessive lateral or radial runout, leak air through
welds, have elongated bolt holes, or if the wheel bolts
won’t stay tight or are heavily rusted. Wheels with
excessive runout may cause vehicle vibration.
Replacement wheels must be equivalent to the original
equipment wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim width,
offset, and mounting configuration. A wheel of improper
size or type may affect wheel and bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle
ground clearance, and tire clearance to the body and
the chassis. The wheel offset is 49 ± 1 (1.93 ± 0.04
inches). Steel wheels may be identified by a two- or
three-letter code stamped into the rim near the valve
stem. Alloy wheels should have the code, the part
number, and the manufacturer ID cast into the back
side.
INFLATION OF TIRES
The pressure recommended for any vehicle line is care-
fully calculated to give a satisfactory ride, handling,
tread life, and load-carrying capacity.
Tire pressure should be checked monthly or before any
extended trip. Check the tires when they are cold, after
the vehicle has sat for 3 hours or more or has been
driven less than 1 mile. Set the tire pressure to the
specifications on the tire label located on the rear face
of the drive r ’s door. Tire inflation pressure is also given
under “Tire Size and Pressure Specifications” in
this section.
Valve caps or extensions should be on the valves to
keep dust and water out.
For sustained driving at speeds up to 140 km/h (85 mph),
inflate the tires to the pressure recommended on the
tire. Sustained driving at speeds faster than 140 km/h
(85 mph), even if permitted by law, is not advised unless
the vehicle has special high-speed tires available from
many tire dealers. Tire pressures may increase as much
as 41 kPa (6 psi) when the tires are hot.
Higher than recommended tire pressure can cause
Hard ride.
Tire bruising or damage.
Rapid tread wear at the center of the tire.
Lower than recommended pressure can cause
Tire squeal on turns.
Hard steering.
Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread.
Tire rim bruises and rupture.
Tire cord breakage.
High tire temperatures.
Unequal tire pressures on same axle can cause
Uneven braking.
Steering lead.
Reduced handling.
Swerve on acceleration.

2E-6 TIRE AND WHEELS
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
WHEEL
Removal Procedure
1. Remove the hub cap.
2. Loosen the wheel nuts.
3. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
4. Remove the wheel nuts.
Notice: Never use heat to loosen a tight wheel. It
can shorten the life of the wheel, the wheel nuts,
and the wheel bearings. Excessive force, such as
hammering the wheel or tire, can also cause
damage and is not recommended. Slight tapping
of the wheel sidewall with one’s hand or with a
rubber mallet is acceptable.
5. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
Difficulty in removing the wheels from the vehicle can
be due to foreign material or to a tight fit between the
wheel centerhole and the hub or the rotor. These wheels
can be removed by
1. Retightening the wheel nuts on the affected wheel
and then loosening the wheel nuts by two turns.
2. Lowering the vehicle and rocking it from side to
side as hard as possible, using one or more
person’s body weight to loosen the wheel.
3. Raising the vehicle and removing the wheel.
Caution: Do not allow the penetrating oil to get on
the vertical surfaces between the wheel and the drum
(or rotor) because penetrating oil in this area could
cause the wheel to work loose as the vehicle is
driven, resulting in loss of control and an injury
accident.
Penetrating oil is not effective in removing tight wheels.
If it is used, however, apply it sparingly and only to the
wheel’s centerhole area.
Installation Procedure
Notice: Before installing the wheels, remove any build-
up of corrosion on the wheel mounting surface and the
rotor mounting surface by scraping and brushing them
with a wire brush. Installing the wheels without good
metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen, which can later allow a
wheel to come off while the vehicle is moving. Wheel
bolts must be tightened in sequence and to the proper
torque to avoid bending the wheel or the rotor.

2. Install the wheel nuts in the sequence shown. Do
not tighten the wheel nuts .
Installation Notice
Tightening Torque120 Nm (89 lb-ft)
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. Install the wheel cover.
ON-VEHICLE BALANCING
On-vehicle balancing will help correct vibrations due to
brake drum, rotor, and wheel cover imbalances.
Notice: Do not allow the front suspension to hang free.
When the drive axle is run at an extreme angle, extra
vibrations can occur, as well as damage to seals and
joints.
1. During on-vehicle balancing, do not remove the
bal-ance weights from the off-vehicle dynamic
balance.
2. If more than 28.4 grams (1 ounce) of additional
weight is required, split the weight between the inner
and the outer rim flanges.
Caution: Do not spin the drive wheels faster than
55 km/h (35 mph) as indicated by the
speedometer. This limit is necessary because
the speedometer indicates only one-half of the
actual wheel speed when one drive wheel is
spinning and the other drive wheel is stopped.
Personal injury and damage may result from
high-speed spinning.
3. Spin the driven tire and wheel assemblies using
the engine.
