Tyre Rotation - Mitsubishi ASX 2019 Owner's Manual

Replacing tyres and wheels
CAUTION
l Avoid using different size tyres from the one
listed and the combined use of different
types of tyres, as this can affect driving safe-
ty.
Refer to "Tyres and wheels" on page 11-10.
l Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor-
rectly. We recommend you to consult a spe-
cialist before using wheels that you have.
l If your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine wheels should be used.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks
and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tyre inflation pressure sensors
properly.
Refer to "Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)*" on page 6-64.

Tyre rotation

Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,
road surface conditions and individual driv-
er's driving habits. To equalize the wear and
help extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-
tate the tyres immediately after discovery of
abnormal wear, or whenever the wear differ-
ence between the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually
caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper
wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or se-
vere braking. We recommend you to have it
checked to determine the cause of irregular
tread wear.

CAUTION
l A temporary spare tyre can be fitted tempo-
rarily in place of a tyre that has been re-
moved during the tyre rotation. However, it
must not be included in the regular tyre rota-
tion sequence.
l If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the
correct direction of rotation, swap the front
and rear tyres on the left-hand side of the ve-
hicle and the front and rear tyres on the
right-hand side of the vehicle separately.
Keep each tyre on its original side of the ve-
hicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure the
arrows point in the direction in which the
wheels will turn when the vehicle moves for-
ward. Any tyre whose arrow points in the
wrong direction will not perform to its full
potential.
