General Notes


General Notes
1. Factory installed tires and wheels are designed to provide optimum ride and handling characteristics when inflated to the recommended inflation pressures, with vehicle loads not exceeding the full-rated load capacity.
2. Correct tire pressures and driving technique have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
3. Replacement tires should follow the recommended:
^ Size.
^ Speed rating.
^ Load range.
^ Radial construction type.
4. The use of any other size or type of wheel / tire may seriously affect:
^ Safety.
^ Ride.
^ Handling.
^ Speedometer / odometer calibration.
^ Vehicle ground clearance.
^ Tire clearance between body and chassis.
^ Wheel bearing life.
^ Brake cooling.
5. Wheels must be renewed when:
^ Impact damaged.
^ Heavily corroded.
^ Porous
^ Wheel stud holes or seats become damaged.
^ They have excessive radial or lateral runout.
