WARNING
Be sure to use the specified type of tires and
disc wheels. Mixing bias and radial tires
results in poor steering and should be
avoided at all cost.
In addition, mixed use of different types of
tires can produce the following undesirable
effects:
•
The ABS system cannot work as intended.
•
The speedometer indicates a different
speed from the actual vehicle speed.
•
The DUONIC system (transmission) can-
not change gear at the optimum timing, so
fuel consumption becomes worse.
•
The tires may touch the frame and steering
components.
•
As the vehicle is driven after a wheel has
been replaced, the wheel nuts loosen up
somewhat during the early stages of driv-
ing due to "wear-in". Therefore, it is neces-
sary to retighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque after driving 50 to 100 km.
Thereafter, retighten the nuts at regular
intervals.

If you use the wheel without removing the
paint, the wheel nuts are likely to become

CAUTION
•
Because of their propensity to generate heat,
new tires tend to wear quickly. For vehicles
other than the dump trucks, install two tires
as a set on the front of the vehicle where the
load is smaller. Break in new tires by driving
200 km or more at 60 km/h or less. After this
run-in period, check tire pressure.
If a difference in tire diameters on double-tire
rear wheels arises due to wear, be sure to
assemble the tire with the smaller diameter
on the inside.
