Rotating Tires; Front Tire Replacement Precautions; Installing Snow Tires And Chains - Toyota Coaster 2015 Owner's Manual

Rotating tires

To equalize tire wear and help extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that you
rotate your tires approximately every
5000 km (3100 miles). However, the
most appropriate timing for tire rotation
may vary according to your driving hab-
its and road surface conditions.
See "If you have a flat tire" in Section 4
for tire change procedure.
When rotating tires, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usu-
ally caused by incorrect tire pressure, im-
proper wheel alignment, out−of−balance
wheels, or severe braking.
Front tire replacement
precautions
Clip
Plate washer
Your front tires are equipped with a
special clip and plate washer designed
to retain the inflation valve stem.
When replacing a front tire, be sure to
move the clip and washer to the new tire.
The spare tire originally installed has the
same clip and washer in case it replaces
a flat front tire.
NOTICE
Do not drive with the clip or washer
removed. It may result in tire damage.
Installing snow tires and
chains
WHEN TO USE SNOW
CHAINS
Snow tires or chains are recommended
when driving on snow or ice.
On wet or dry roads, conventional tires
provide better traction than snow tires.
SNOW TIRE SELECTION
If you need snow tires, select tires of
the same size, construction and load
capacity as the originally installed tires.
Do not use tires other than those men-
tioned above. Do not install studded tires
without first checking local regulations for
possible restrictions.
CAUTION
Do not use snow tires other than the
manufacturer's recommended size, as
this may cause dangerous handling
characteristics resulting in loss of
control. Otherwise, an accident may
occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
