Maintenance
Tire chains
Radial-ply tires
Tire chains, if necessary, should be
installed on the drive wheels (rear
wheels).
Make sure that the chains are
installed in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's instructions.
To minimize the abrasion of tires and
chains, do not use the chains, when
unnecessary.
Radial-ply tires provide longer tread
life, better road hazard resistance
and smoother riding at a high speed.
The radial-ply tires used on this vehi-
cle are of belted construction, and
are to improve your driving and han-
dling. Radial-ply tires have the same
loading capacity as the bias-ply or
bias-belted tires of the same size.
Inflate the radial-ply tires to the same
recommended inflation pressure. It is
not recommended to attempt a
cross-combination of radial-ply tires
and bias-ply(or bias-belted) tires on
the same vehicle. Any cross-combi-
nation of radial-ply and bias-ply(or
bias-belted) tires on one vehicle will
seriously deteriorate vehicle han-
dling. The best rule to follow is:
Identical
radial-ply
tires
should
always be used for a set of four tires.
A tire, which is driven for a long peri-
od of time, is more susceptible to
irregular tread abrasion. It is very
important to rotate tires, at the inter-
val instructed in this chapter, to use it
up to its potential tread life. Any cut
and puncture on a radial-ply tire is
repairable, only when it is on the
tread, because of the side wall flex-
ing. Consult your tire dealer for a
radial-ply tire repair.
