Tire Size Tire Balance and Alignment To maintain safety, only purchase new tires of the same size as the original tires. Look at the Tire and Loading Information Placard, the Specifications Chart in this manual, or the sidewall of the tire being replaced. If you have any doubt about selecting the correct size, consult a tire dealer. The tires need to be balanced to prevent vibration when driving. This involves attaching small weights to the rim to offset small differences in rim and tire weight.

VEHICLE LOAD LIMIT Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 1. Locate the statement “The weight of cargo should never exceed XXX kilograms or XXX pounds” on your vehicle’s placard. 2. That figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. 3. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity. 4.
