Wheel alignment and tire bal-

ance

The wheels on your vehicle were

aligned and balanced carefully at the

factory to give you the longest tire life

and best overall performance.

In most cases, you will not need to

have your wheels aligned again.

However, if you notice unusual tire

wear or your vehicle pulling one way

or the other, the alignment may need

to be reset.

If you notice your vehicle vibrating

when driving on a smooth road, your

wheels may need to be rebalanced.

Tire replacement

If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear

indicator will appear as a solid band

across the tread. This shows there is

less than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of tread

left on the tire. Replace the tire when

this happens.

Do not wait for the band to appear

across the entire tread before replac-

ing the tire.

CAUTION - Wheel weight

Improper wheel weights can

damage your vehicle's alu-

minum wheels. Use only

approved wheel weights.

WARNING - Replacing

tires

To reduce the chance of serious

or fatal injuries from an acci-

dent caused by tire failure or

loss of vehicle control:

• Replace tires that are worn,

show uneven wear, or are

damaged. Worn tires can

cause loss of braking effec-

tiveness, steering control, and

traction.

• Do not drive your vehicle with

too little or too much pressure

in your tires. This can lead to

uneven wear and tire failure.

• When replacing tires, never

mix radial and bias-ply tires

on the same vehicle.You must

replace all tires (including the

spare) if moving from radial to

bias-ply tires.
