CAUTION
• 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.
• Do not use tires or wheels other
than the manufacturer's recom-
mended size.
Never use second-hand tires on your
Toyota.
Using tires whose previous history is un-
known is a risk.
Toyota recommends all four tires, or at
least both front or rear tires be re-
placed 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.
Rotating tires
To equalize tire wear and help extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that you
rotate your tires approximately every
10000 km (6000 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.
