  Q: What Are the Guidelines for Tire and Wheel Maintenance?

  A: All vehicles covered are equipped with metric-sized steel belted radial tires. It's crucial to avoid using different sizes or types of tires, as this can impact the vehicle's ride and handling. Mixing various tire types, like radials and bias belted, on the same vehicle could seriously affect its handling. When replacing tires, it's advisable to do so in pairs on the same axle. If only one tire is being replaced, ensure it matches the same size, structure, and tread design as the other. Regularly check tire pressure, as it significantly affects handling and wear, at least once a month and before extended trips. Wheels must be replaced if they show signs of being bent, dented, leaking air, having elongated boltholes, heavy rust, lack of vertical symmetry, or if lug nuts don't stay tight. It's not recommended to repair wheels using welding or peening. Proper tire and wheel balance is crucial for overall vehicle handling, braking, and performance. Unbalanced wheels can negatively impact handling, ride quality, and tire lifespan. Whenever a tire is installed on a wheel, ensure that both the tire and wheel are balanced by a professional shop equipped with the appropriate tools.
