General Description
Tires
This vehicle is equipped with following tire.
Tire size
: 205/70 R15 or 175/80 R15
The tires are of tubeless type. The tires are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to the full rated load
capacity when inflated to the recommended inflation pressure.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an important influence on tire life Heavy cornering, excessively
rapid acceleration, and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
Wheels
Standard equipment wheels are following steel wheels.
15 x 5 1/2 JJ
Replacement Tires
When replacement is necessary, the original equipment type tire should be used. Refer to the Tire Placard.
Replacement tires should be of the same size, load range and construction as those originally on the vehicle.
Use of any other size or type tire may affect ride, handling, speedometer / odometer calibration, vehicle ground
clearance and tire or snow chain clearance to the body and chassis.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on the same axle. If necessary to replace only one tire, it
should be paired with the tire having the most tread, to equalize braking traction.
The metric term for tire inflation pressure is the kilopascal (kPa).
Tire pressures will usually be printed in both kPa and psi on the
Tire Placard. Metric tire gauges are available from tool suppliers.
The following chart, converts commonly used inflation pressures
from kPa to psi. WARNING:
Do not mix different types of tires on the same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-belted tires except
in emergencies, because vehicle handling may be seriously affected and may result in loss of control.
