WHEELS AND TIRES

Tire Pressure

WARNING
Tire pressure greatly affects vehi-
cle handling and stability. Under-
pressure may cause tire to deflate
and rotate on wheel. Overpres-
sure may burst the tire. Always
follow recommended pressure.
Since tires are low-pressure types,
a manual pump should be used.
Check pressure when tires are "cold"
before using the vehicle. Tire pres-
sure changes with temperature and
altitude. Recheck pressure if one of
these conditions has changed.
For your convenience, a pressure
gauge is supplied in tool kit.
TIRE PRESSURE
UP to
MAX.

(517 lb)
MIN.
Although the tires are specifically de-
signed for off-road use, a flat may still
occur. Therefore, it is recommended
to carry a tire pump and a repair kit.

Tire/Wheel Condition

Check tires and rims for damages.
Also, check tires for wear. Replace if
necessary.
Do not rotate tires. The front and rear
tires have a different size. The tires
are directional and their rotation must
be kept in a specific direction for prop-
er operation.

WARNING
When the tires are replaced, nev-
er install a bias tire with a radial
tire. Such a combination could
create handling and/or stability
problems.
Do not mix tires of different size
and/or design on the same axle.
Front and rear tire pairs must be
the identical model and manufac-
turer.
For unidirectional tread pattern,
ensure that the tires are installed
in the correct direction of rotation.
The radial tires must be installed
as a complete set.
Severe injury or death can result
if you do not follow these instruc-
tions.
Wheel Removal/
Installation
Loosen nuts then lift vehicle.
Place a support under vehicle.
Remove nuts then remove wheel.
At installation, it is recommended to
apply anti-seize lubricant on threads.
Gently tighten nuts in a criss-cross se-
quence then apply final torque.
Torque Application
Standard Models
Torque to 70 N•m (52 lbf•ft).
CAUTION: Always use the recom-
mended wheel nuts (P/N 250 100
042). Using a different nut could
cause damages to the rim.
