TIRE AND WHEEL SYSTEM INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

  1. INSPECT TIRES

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

      225/60R18 100H

      210 (2.1, 30)

      210 (2.1, 30)

      *: for Ireland, Hungary, Romania and Turkey

      Cold Tire Inflation Pressure (for Compact Spare Tire)

      Tire Size

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)

      T165/80D17 104M

      420 (4.2, 60)
    2. C137874

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

      Tire runout

      1.4 mm (0.0551 in.) or less

      Tip:

      Remove the wheel assembly from the vehicle, and measure the wheel assembly alone.

  2. ROTATE TIRES

    1. C241094C01

      *a

      Front of the Vehicle

      *b

      Vehicle Wheels and Spare Tire Wheel are Same Type

      *c

      Vehicle Wheels and Spare Tire Wheel are Not Same Type, or There is No Spare Tire

      Rotate the tires as shown in the illustration.

      103 N*m

      1050 kgf*cm

      76 ft.*lbf

  3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE

    1. C264658N01

      for Aluminum Wheel Type:

      Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.

      Maximum imbalance after adjustment

      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 sticking 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 firmly to adhere it to the position.

      • Do not reuse the balance weight.

      Tip:

      • The inner side balance weights should be installed by clipping them to the rim.

      • If the tires vibrate even after off-the-car balance adjustment, adjust the wheel balance with on-the-car balancing as necessary.

    2. C144019

      for Steel Wheel Type:

      Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.

      Maximum imbalance after adjustment

      8.0 g (0.0176 lb.)

      Tip:

      If the tires vibrate even after off-the-car balance adjustment, adjust the wheel balance with on-the-car balancing as necessary.
