Rotating Tires - Toyota Land Cruiser 2003 Owner's Manual

WWW.MANUALS.WS
Toyota recommends all four tires, or at
least both front or rear tires be re-
placed as a set.
See "If you have a flat tire" on page 231
for tire change procedure.
When a tire is replaced, the wheel
should always be balanced.
An unbalanced wheel may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Wheels can get out
of balance with regular use and should
therefore be balanced occasionally.
When replacing a tubeless tire, the air
valve should also be replaced with a
new one.

Rotating tires

To equalize tire wear and help extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that you
rotate your tires according to the main-
tenance schedule. (For scheduled main-
tenance information, please refer to the
"Scheduled Maintenance Guide"
"Owner's Manual Supplement".) Howev-
er, the most appropriate timing for tire
rotation may vary according to your
driving habits and road surface condi-
tions.
See "If you have a flat tire" on page 231
for tire change procedure.
'03 L/C U (L/O 0301)
When rotating tires, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usu-
ally caused by incorrect tire pressure, im-
proper wheel alignment, out–of–balance
wheels, or severe braking.
