The amount of wear on a tire depends on its posi-
tion on the vehicle. To equalize wear and extend life
as much as possible, rotate the tires at regular inter-
vals.
Tire rotation pattern
• Plan the rotation pattern of tires so that their
rotating directions are reversed.
• Use a tire of the same type on a single axle. If
different type tires are mounted on an axle, the
vehicle tends to pull to one side during braking,
and could cause you to lose directional control
of the vehicle.
• Be sure to use the following type of tires.
FK61F: 225/70R 19.5
FK62F, FK65F: 10R 22.5 – 14PR
FM: 11R 22.5 – 14PR
WARNING
In the case of dual wheels, one often retight-
ens outer wheel nuts while forgetting to
retighten inner wheel nuts. Always follow the
above procedure to tighten all the nuts.
