and could burst. Always keep the
tires of your vehicle adjusted at
the standard air pressures.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
There should not be a difference in
air pressure between the inside and
outside
tires on a dual-tire wheel.
It is not easy to visually identify an
under-inflated dual-wheel tire or low
aspect ratio tire (aspect ratio at
70%). Always use an appropriate
tire air pressure gauge to check the
air pressure of any tire.
If your vehicle is equipped with
aluminum wheels, use an extension
attached to the inner tire valve
together with a standard tire air
pressure gauge or use a special air
pressure gauge when checking the
air pressure of a dual-wheel's
inner tire.
Cracks and Other Damage
1. Sidewall surface
2. Gap between inner and
outer tires
3. Tread
Check the tread and sidewall
surfaces of each tire for cracks or
other damage. Especially check the
tread for nails or other metal pieces
embedded in grooves and also the
gap between the inner and outer
tires of a dual-tire wheel for pebbles
lodged in it.
When checking tires, pay special
attention to: low air pressure;
pebbles or nails in tread grooves;
cracks or other damage on tire
surfaces; uneven wear; and pebbles
lodged in the gap between tires of
dual-wheel tires.
