Tire And Wheel System Inspection

Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.

Standard Cold Tire Inflation Pressure:

Tire Size	Destination	Front kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)	Rear kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
245/75R17	Middle East	230 (2.3, 33)	230 (2.3, 33)
			260 (2.6, 38)*1
	General Export	230 (2.3, 33)	230 (2.3, 33)
			260 (2.6, 38)*1
285/65R17	Middle East	230 (2.3, 33)	230 (2.3, 33)
	Australia	230 (2.3, 33)	230 (2.3, 33)
	General Export	230 (2.3, 33)	230 (2.3, 33)
	Europe	240 (2.4, 35)	240 (2.4, 35)
	China	240 (2.4, 35)	240 (2.4, 35)
285/60R18	Middle East	230 (2.3, 33)	230 (2.3, 33)
	Australia	230 (2.3, 33)	230 (2.3, 33)
	General Export	230 (2.3, 33)	230 (2.3, 33)
	Europe	240 (2.4, 35)	240 (2.4, 35)
	China	240 (2.4, 35)	240 (2.4, 35)

			260 (2.6, 38)*1

Using a dial indicator, check the tire runout.

Tire runout:

3.0 mm (0.118 in.) or less

Rotate the tires as shown in the illustration.

Torque:

for Aluminum Wheel:

131 N*m{1336 kgf*cm, 97 ft.*lbf}

for Steel Wheel:

209 N*m{2131 kgf*cm, 154 ft.*lbf}

for Steel Wheel Type:
Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.

Standard Imbalance After Adjustment:

12 g (0.0265 lb) or less

HINT:

If necessary, check and adjust the on-the-car balance.

for Aluminum Wheel Type:
Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.

NOTICE:

1. Use a cleaning detergent to remove dirt, oil and water from the surface where the balance weight is to be attached.
   
2. Do not touch the adhesive surface of the tape.
   
3. Attach a sticking-type balance weight to the flat surface (A) shown in the illustration.
   

   Width (A):

   20 mm (0.787 in.)
   

4. Push the balance weight firmly so that it securely adheres to the position.
   
5. Do not reuse the balance weight.
   

HINT:

1. For 17 inch wheels, the outer side balance weight should be installed by clipping it to the rim.
   
2. If necessary, check and adjust the on-the-car balance.
