wheel of the same size, type,
tread, brand and load-carrying
capacity.

wheels may need to be rebalanced.

there is less than 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) of
tread left on the tyre. Replace the
tyre when this happens.
CAUTION
Improper wheel weights can
damage your vehicle's alu-
minum
wheels.
Use
approved wheel weights.
