  1. INSPECT TIRES 
    1. Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure

      Cold tire inflation pressure 

      TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE SPECIFICATION

      Tire Size Cold tire inflation pressure kPa (kgf/cm2 , psi)
      Front Rear Front Rear
      225/40R19 93Y 255/35R19 96Y 250 (2.5, 36) 250 (2.5, 36)

      When driving under the above vehicle conditions at sustained high speeds of above 160 km/h (100 mph), in countries where such speeds are permitted by law, inflate the front and rear tires to 310 kPa (3 1 kgf/cm2 , 45 psi) provided that it does not exceed the maximum cold tire inflation pressure molded on the tire sidewall

    2. Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the tires

      NOTE:
      • Use a cleaning detergent to remove dirt, oil and water from the surface where the balance weight is to be adhered.
      • Do not touch the adhesive surface of the tape.
      • Adhere a sticking type balance weight to the flat surface (A) shown in Fig 3.

        Width (A):

        25 mm (0.984 in.)
