7-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
COROLLA H/B_U
tires also have radial construction.
Do not install studded tires without
first checking local regulations for
possible restrictions. Snow tires
should be installed on all wheels.
(P.239)
■
If the tread on snow tires wears
down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)
The effectiveness of the tires as
snow tires is lost.
■
Checking the tire valves
When replacing the tires, check the
tire valves for deformation, cracks,
and other damage.
Rotate the tires in the order
shown.
WARNING
■
When inspecting or replacing
tires
Observe the following precautions
to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to parts of the drive train as
well as dangerous handling char-
acteristics, which may lead to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
●
Do not mix tires of different
makes, models or tread pat-
terns.
Also, do not mix tires of remark-
ably different treadwear.
●
Do not use tire sizes other than
those recommended by Toyota.
●
Do not mix differently con-
structed tires (radial, bias-belted
or bias-ply tires).
●
Do not mix summer, all season
and snow tires.
●
Do not use tires that have been
used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not
know how they were used previ-
ously.
NOTICE
■
Low profile tires (18-inch
tires)
Low profile tires may cause
greater damage than usual to the
tire wheel when sustaining impact
from the road surface. Therefore,
pay attention to the following:
●
Be sure to use proper tire infla-
tion pressure. If tires are
under-inflated, they may be
damaged more severely.
●
Avoid potholes, uneven pave-
ment, curbs and other road haz-
ards. Failure to do so may lead
to severe tire and wheel dam-
age.
■
If tire inflation pressure of
each tire becomes low while
driving
Do not continue driving, or your
tires and/or wheels may be
ruined.
■
Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving
on roads with loose surfaces or
potholes.
These conditions may cause
losses in tire inflation pressure,
reducing the cushioning ability of
the tires. In addition, driving on
rough roads may cause damage
to the tires themselves, as well as
the vehicle’s wheels and body.
