REPLACING TIRES AND WHEELSTires degrade over time due to the effects of ultraviolet light, extreme
temperatures, high loads, and environmental conditions. It is
recommended that tires are replaced every six years, or sooner if required.
Wheel rims and tires are matched to suit handling characteristics of the
vehicle. Replacement tires must comply with the original specification. If
tires other than those specified are used, ensure that the load and speed
ratings (shown on the tire side wall as described on page 20) equal or
exceed those of the original specification.
Ideally, you should replace all four tires at the same time. If this isn’t
possible, replace the tires in pairs (both front and both rear). When
replacing tires, always re-balance and check the alignment of wheels.Asymmetric tiresYour vehicle’s tires are asymmetric
and must be mounted on the wheel
with the correct sidewall facing
outwards. The sidewall of the tire is
marked with the words OUTSIDE.
When new tires are installed, make
sure that the tires are correctly
mounted on the wheels.
WARNING: Road holding will be seriously impaired if the tires are
incorrectly installed on the wheels.
