TIRE SIZE
! WARNING
Use only approved tires when replacing tires. Failure to
do so could result in unstable vehicle operation.
This vehicle is equipped with low-pressure tubeless tires
of the size and type listed in the General Information sec-
tion. Do not under any circumstances substitute tires of a
different type or size.
! WARNING
Always use the size and type of tires specified. Always
maintain proper tire inflation pressure.
! WARNING
Do not mix tire tread patterns. Use the same pattern
type on front and rear. Failure to heed warning could
cause poor handling qualities of the vehicle and could
cause excessive drive train damage not covered by war-
ranty.
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Front tire inflation pressure should be 82.7 kPa (12 psi)
cold. Rear tire inflation pressure should be 97 kPa
(14 psi) cold. Rear tire inflation pressure with cargo
should be 110 kPa (16 psi) cold.
REMOVING
1. Secure the vehicle on a support stand to elevate the
wheels.
! WARNING
Make sure the vehicle is solidly supported on the sup-
port stand to avoid injury.
2. Remove the nuts securing the wheels; then remove
the wheels.
CLEANING AND INSPECTING

leaks.
INSTALLING
1. Install each wheel on its hub and secure with the
existing hardware.
2. Using a crisscross pattern, tighten the wheel nuts
in 20 ft-lb (27.2 N-m) increments to a final torque of
100 ft-lb (136 N-m).
CHECKING/INFLATING
1. Using an air pressure gauge, measure the air pressure
in each tire. Adjust the air pressure as necessary to
meet the recommended inflation pressure.
2. Inspect the tires for damage, wear, or punctures.
! WARNING
Do not operate the vehicle if tire damage exists.
NOTE: If repair is needed, follow the instructions
