TIRE AND WHEEL SYSTEM INSPECTION

  1. INSPECT TIRES

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

      Cold Tire Inflation Pressure
      Tire Size

      Front

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)

      Rear

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
      P205/65R16 94S 240 (2.4, 35)
      P215/55R17 93V

      240 (2.4, 35)*1

      210 (2.1, 30)*2
      P225/45R18 91V 230 (2.3, 33)

      *1: except Mexico

      *2: for Mexico

    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 illustration (A). If the vehicle is equipped with a full size spare tire, rotate the tires as shown in illustration (B).

  3. INSPECT AND ADJUST WHEEL BALANCE

    1. Inspect and adjust the off-the-car balance.

      1. Steel wheel:

        Maximum imbalance
        8.0 g (0.0176 lb)

      2. Others (Non-steel wheel):

        A011QSME06
        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.
