Wheel aliþnment and tire
balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aliþned and balanced careýully at the
ýactory to þive you the lonþest tire liýe
and best overall perýormance.
In most cases, you will not need to have
your wheels aliþned aþain. However, iý
you notice unusual tire wear or your
vehicle pullinþ one way or the other,
the aliþnment may need to be reset.
Iý you notice your vehicle vibratinþ
when drivinþ on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.

Improper wheel weiþhts can damaþe
your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use
only approved wheel weiþhts.
Tire replacement
Iý the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
Indicator (A) will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) oý tread leýt
on the tire. Replace the tire when this
happens.
Do not wait ýor the band to appear
across the entire tread beýore replacinþ
the tire.

We recommend that when replacinþ
tires, use the same oriþinally sup‐
