Wheel Alignment
Correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tyre wear. You
should get your vehicle’s wheel alignment checked regularly.
In case uneven tyre wear is observed, vehicle’s wheel alignment
should be checked as soon as possible.

Wheel Balancing
Wheels are balanced at the factory. They may need to be
rebalanced at some time before they are worn out. The wheels
should be checked for balance if tyre or tube is repaired.
Whenever a tyre or wheel rim is changed tyre needs to be
balanced.
1. Permissible imbalance for tyre with rim = 250 gm-cm (max.)
2. Total balance weight should be within 140 gms on each
side.
3. Relocate the tyre if the weight required to balance is more
than 140 gm.
4. Balance weights are available from 10 gm to 80 gm, 90 gm
to 140 gm & 15 gm to 135 gm in steps of 10 gms.
5. Do not use more than one balance weight on one side.T TT T

Check for the inflation and condition of your TATA SAFARI tyres
periodically.
Inflation InflationInflation Inflation
Inflation
Check the pressure in the tyres when they are cold.
Refer to tyre information label fitted on fuel flap inside for
correct cold tyre pressure.
You should have your own tyre pressure gauge and use it
all times. This makes easier for you to tell if pressure loss
is caused by a tyre problem and not by variation between
gauges.
Keeping the tyres properly inflated gives you the best
combination of riding comfort. handling and tyre life.
Over inflation of tyres makes the vehicle ride bumpy and
harsh. Tyres are more prone to uneven wear and damage
from road hazards.
Under inflated tyres reduce your comfort in vehicle handling
and are prone to failures due to high temperature. They
also cause uneven wear.

Inspection
Every time you check inflation pressure, you should also
examine tyres for damage, foreign objects and wear.
You should look for :
•Bumps or bulges in the tread or the side of the tyre. Replace
the tyre if you find either of these conditions.
•Cuts, splits or cracks in the side of the tyre. Replace the tyre
if you see the fabric or cord.
•Excessive tread wear.
