TYRE BALANCING
Incorrect tyre balance will cause steer-
ing vibration and uneven tyre wear.
The vehicle tyres are balanced during
production but may need further bal-
ancing throughout the life of the tyres.
It is recommended that the tyres be
balanced on the car for best results
and that the tyres are balanced when-
ever they have been removed from the
wheel for repair.

TYRE ROTATION
The tyre wear characteristics will vary
between each tyre dependant upon the
conditions of use. It is normal for the
front tyres to wear more rapidly than
those fitted to the rear of the vehicle
and therefore tyre rotation will provide
a means of helping to ensure an even
wear rate across the tyre set. For
vehicles fitted with radial ply tyres,
rotation should be confined to front to
rear tyre alternation. It is not recom-
mended that radial ply tyres be rotated
from side to side.
NOTE:
o Do not use the temporary spare
tyre for tyre rotation.
o Aluminium wheels which are not
supplied as Original Equipment
should not be mixed on the same
vehicle with the original steel
wheels. However, it is acceptable
that the steel spare wheel be used
in conjunction with Original
Equipment aluminium wheels
since the offset of both wheels is
compatible. Radial and cross ply
tyres should not be mixed on the
same vehicle.
