General Information

For driving safety, do not replace tires individually, instead replace tires by axle (at least).

The tires with the deeper tread should always be on the front wheels.

It is recommended to mount only tires of the same make, structure, and tread pattern on all wheels.

When replacing the disc wheel or the tire, the rubber valve should always be replaced.

Tires are to be installed with DOT markings facing outside of wheel; it applies to left side of vehicle only in case of tires with directional tread pattern.

If the tires are directional, the spare should be a wheel/tire combination for the right side of the vehicle.
