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

   Maximum tire runout
   1.4 mm (0.0551 in.) or less

ROTATE TIRE

1.

      • 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 balance weight.

      • Adhere a stick-on type balance weight to the flat surface*a shown in the illustration.

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

      • Do not reuse balance weights.

      Tip:

      Use stick-on type balance weights for both the inner and outer side.
