Rotating Tires - Toyota 2002 Echo Owner's Manual

CAUTION
D
Do not mix radial, bias belted, or
bias–ply tires on your vehicle. It
can cause dangerous handling char-
acteristics, resulting in loss of con-
trol.
D
Do not use tires or wheels other
than the manufacturer's
mended size.
Toyota recommends all four tires, or at
least both of the front or rear tires be
replaced at a time as a set.
See "If you have a flat tire" in Section 4
for tire change procedure.
When a tire is replaced, the wheel
should always be balanced.
An unbalanced wheel may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Wheels can get out
of balance with regular use and should
therefore be balanced occasionally.
When replacing a tubeless tire, the air
valve should also be replaced with a
new one.
