TIRE AND WHEEL SYSTEM INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT TIRES

   
   

   1. Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.

      Cold Tire Inflation Pressure
      Area Tire Size Front kPa (kgf/cm2, psi) Rear kPa (kgf/cm2, psi) China 215/55R17 94V 230 (2.3, 33) 230 (2.3, 33) Russia 215/55R17 93V 4 passengers or less 230 (2.3, 33)*1 250 (2.5, 36)*3 290 (2.9, 42)*4 230 (2.3, 33) 5 passengers or more 230 (2.3, 33)*1 250 (2.5, 36)*3 290 (2.9, 42)*4 230 (2.3, 33)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*3 270 (2.7, 39)*4 Taiwan 215/55R17 93V 230 (2.3, 33)*1 250 (2.5, 36)*2 230 (2.3, 33)

      *1: For driving under 180 km/h (112 mph)

      *2: For driving at over 180 km/h (112 mph)

      *3: For driving at 180 km/h (112 mph) to 210 km/h (130 mph).

      *4: For driving at over 210 km/h (130 mph)

   2. 

      Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the tires.

      Maximum tire runout
      1.4 mm (0.0551 in.)

2. ROTATE TIRES

   
   

   1. 

      Rotate the tires as shown in the illustration.

      Front

      Torque:

      103 N*m  { 1049 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }

3. INSPECT AND ADJUST WHEEL BALANCE

   
   

   1. 

      Inspect and adjust the off-the-car balance.

      Maximum imbalance
      8.0 g (0.0176 lb)

      Note

      
      

      • Use a cleaning detergent to remove dirt, oil and water from the surface where the balance weight is to be adhered.

      • Do not touch the adhesive surface of the tape.

      • Adhere a sticking type balance weight to the flat surface (A) shown in the illustration.

        Width (A)
        25 mm (0.984 in.)

      • Push the balance weight securely with your finger to adhere it to the desired position.

      • Do not reuse balance weights.

      Tech Tips

      The inner side balance weight should be installed by clipping it to the rim.
