TIRE CARE
All models 'of the Corva;r 95 and Greenbrier Sports-
wagon are supplied with 7.00 x 14-4 ply S.P. tubeless
tires as standard equipment. Optional 7.00 x 14-6 ply
S.P. tires are available for heavier duty.
All models are designed to operate most efficiently
with the inflation pressure shown in the following tables.
Nothing will be gained by exceeding pressure shown,
whereas, excessive pressures can adversely affect riding
comfort and quietness. Under inflation affects vehicle
handling and tire life. Over-steer problems may also be
encountered with incorrect pressure. Maintain the recom-
mended inflation pressures at all times.
All four wheels of your Corvair have been static-balanced
for best performance and tire life. Wheels should be rebal-
anced after tire service or replacement.
