Tire information • Accessory weight meansmeans the combined weight of automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, radio, and heater, to the extent that these items are available as factory-installed equipment. • Maximum tire width means- the greater of either the linear distance between the exterior edges of the carcass or the linear distance between the exterior edges of the tread, both being measured parallel to the rolling axis of the tire.
Tire Markings Inner diameter in inches Load index and Speed rating* European tire certificate* Section width in inches SAFETY U.S. DOT tire identification number Tire ply composition and materials used Maximum permissible inflation pressure ASSEMBLY Maximum load rating Trailer tire *Information not required by U.S. DOT • Section width- This number gives the width of the tire in inches. The larger the number, the wider the tire. (The markings on the example tire diagram show 4.80.
Code MPH F G J K L M 50 56 62 68 75 81 Code MPH N P Q R S T 87 94 100 106 112 118 • Tire Ply Composition and Materials UsedUsed The number of plies indicates the number of layers of rubber-coated fabric in the tire. In general, the greater the number of plies, the more weight a tire can support. Tire manufacturers also must indicate the materials in the tire, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
Tire care Checking Tire Pressure SAFETY Note: Underinflated tires can decrease handling, stopping performance, traction, tire life, and load-carrying capability, in addition to causing other negative and hazardous effects, including tire failure. Overinflated tires are at greater risk of an impact break, where the tread and casing break when striking a hard edge, often opening a huge gash across the tread. Incorrect inflation pressure also increases tires wear rate.
Tire Balance and Alignment Tire Repair To properly repair a punctured tire, the hole needs to be properly plugged and patched from the inside of the tire. Tread punctures can be repaired if they are not too large. Sidewall punctures should not be repaired, the tire needs to be replaced if the sidewall is damaged. Tires should be removed from the rim to be inspected before being plugged and patched. A qualified mechanic should remove the tire from the rim, perform the repair, and remount the tire.
Acceleration and Passing 1. When passing a slower vehicle or changing lanes, signal well in advance and make sure you allow extra distance to clear the vehicle before you pull back into the lane. SAFETY 2. Pass on level terrain with plenty of clearance. Avoid passing on steep upgrades or downgrades. 3. If necessary, downshift for improved acceleration or speed maintenance. 4. When passing on narrow roads, be careful not to go onto a soft shoulder.
Maintenance SAFETY Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician. TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Note: Tow vehicles often have more frequent maintenance requirements, including changes of engine and transmission oils and filters, lubrication of components, and cooling system checks.
