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.
WARNING!
Do not mix different types of tires on the
same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-
belted tires except in emergencies, because
handling may be seriously affected and may
result in loss of control.

The metric term for tire inflation pressure is the kilo
pascal (kPa). Tire pressures is usually printed in both
kPa and kgf/cm
2 on the “Tire Placard”.
Metric tire gauges are available from tool suppliers.
The chart, shown in the table, converts commonly used
inflation pressures from kPa to kgf/cm
2 and psi.
Wheels DescriptionS6RW0D2401002
Wheel Maintenance
Wheel repairs that use welding, heating, or peening are
not approved. All damaged wheels should be replaced.
Replacement Wheels
Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have
excessive lateral or radial runout, air leak through welds,
have elongated bolt holes, if lug wheel bolts won’t stay
tight, or if they are heavily rusted. Wheels with greater
runout than shown in the following may cause
objectional vibrations.
Replacement wheels must be equivalent to the original
equipment wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim with
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 body and
chassis.How to Measure Wheel Runout
To measure the wheel runout, it is necessary to use an
accurate dial indicator. The tire may be on or off the
wheel. The wheel should be installed to the wheel
balancer of the like for proper measurement.
Take measurements of both lateral runout “a” and radial
runout “b” at both inside and outside of the rim flange.
With the dial indicator set in place securely, turn the
wheel one full revolution slowly and record every reading
of the indicator.
When the measured runout exceeds the specification
and correction by the balancer adjustment is impossible,
replace the wheel. If the reading is affected by welding,
paint or scratch, it should be ignored.
Lateral runout limit “a”
Aluminum wheel: 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
Steel wheel: 0.9 mm (0.035 in.)
Radial runout limit “b”
Aluminum wheel: 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
Steel wheel: 0.7 mm (0.028 in.)
Metric Lug Nuts and Wheel Studs
All models use metric lug nuts and wheel studs.
Metric lug nuts and wheel studs size
M12 x 1.25
If a broken stud is found, see “Front Wheel Hub, Disc,
Bolt and Bearing Check in Section 2B”, “Front Wheel
Hub, Steering Knuckle and Wheel Bearing Removal and
Installation in Section 2B”, “Rear Wheel Hub Assembly
Removal and Installation in Section 2C”. kPa kgf/cm

Repair Instructions
Wheel Discs InspectionS6RW0D2406006
Inspect each wheel disc for dents, distortion and cracks.
A disc in badly damaged condition must be replaced.
Wheel Balance Inspection and AdjustmentS6RW0D2406001
Refer to “Balancing Wheels Description”.
Deposits of mud, etc. must be cleaned from inside of rim.
WARNING!
Stones should be removed from the tread in
order to avoid operator injury during spin
balancing and to obtain good balance.

Each tire should be inspected for any damage, then
balanced according to equipment manufacturer’s
recommendation.
Off-Vehicle Balancing
Most electronic off-vehicle balancers are more accurate
than the on-vehicle spin balancers. They are easy to use
and give a dynamic (two plane) balance. Although they
do not correct for drum or disc unbalance as does on-
vehicle spin balancing, this is overcome by their
accuracy, usually to within 1/8 ounce.
On-Vehicle Balancing
On-vehicle balancing methods vary with equipment and
tool manufacturers. Be sure to follow each
manufacturer’s instructions during balancing operation.
WARNING!
Wheel spin should be limited to 55 km/h (35
mph) as indicated on speedometer.
This limit is necessary because speedometer
only indicates one-half of actual wheel speed
when one drive wheel is spinning and the
other drive wheel is stopped.
Unless care is taken in limiting drive wheel
spin, spinning wheel can reach excessive
speeds. This can result in possible tire
disintegration or differential failure, which
could cause serious personal injury or
extensive vehicle damage.

CAUTION!
For vehicle equipped with ABS, using on-
vehicle balancing method with ignition
switch ON may set malfunction diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) of ABS even when system
is in good condition.
Never turn ignition switch ON while spinning
wheel.

Tire RotationS6RW0D2406002
To equalize wear, rotate tires periodically as shown in
figure.
Refer to “Wheel (with Tire) Removal and Installation”.

Wheel (with Tire) Removal and InstallationS6RW0D2406003
Removal
CAUTION!
Never use heat to loosen tight wheel because
the application of heat to wheel causes the
wheel life shorter and the wheel bearing
damage.

1) Loosen wheel nuts by approximately 180° (half a
rotation).
2) Hoist vehicle.
3) Make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by trying to
move vehicle body in both ways.
4) Remove wheel nuts except one.
5) Support the wheel and/or tire not to drop the wheel
and then remove the nut left with the wheel.
Installation
For installation, reverse removal procedure, noting the
following.
• Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence and to
specified torque to avoid bending wheel or brake disc
or drum as shown in the figure.
NOTE
Before installing wheels, remove any build-
up of corrosion on wheel mounting surface
and brake disc or drum mounting surface by
scraping and wire brushing. Installing wheels
without good metal-to-metal contact at
mounting surfaces can cause wheel bolts to
loosen, which can later allow a wheel to
come off while vehicle is moving.

Wheel nut (a): 85 N·m (8.5 kgf-m, 61.5 lb-ft)
Tire Mounting and DismountingS6RW0D2406004
WARNING!
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead
may break when bead snaps over rim’s safety
hump and cause serious personal injury.
Do not exceed specified pressure when
inflating. If specified pressure will not seat
beads, deflate, re-lubricate and reinflate.
Over inflation may cause bead to break and
cause serious personal injury.

Use a tire changing machine to mount or dismount tires.
Follow equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Do not
use hand tools or tire irons alone to change tires as they
may damage tire beads or wheel rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire brush or
coarse steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and
light rust. Before mounting or dismounting a tire, bead
area should be well lubricated with approved tire
lubricant.
After mounting, inflate 330 kPa (47.9 psi) pressure so
that beads are completely seated. Then adjust pressure
to specified shown in the tire placard.
Tire RepairS6RW0D2406005
There are many different materials and techniques on
the market to repair tires. As not all of these work on all
types of tires, tire manufacturers have published detailed
instructions on how and when to repair tires. These
instructions can be obtained from each tire
manufacturer.
