Tire And Wheel System: Inspection

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

   Cold tire inflation pressure for TMC Made 2AZ-FE engine models: 

   COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
   
   

   Tire size	Front kPa (kgf*cm2 , psi)	Rear kPa (kgf*cm2 , psi)
   P215/60R16 94V	220 (2.2, 32)	220 (2.2, 32)

   When driving under the above vehicle conditions at sustained high speeds above 160 km/h (100 mph), in countries where such speeds are permitted bylaw, inflate the front and rear tires to 240 kPa (2.4 kgf*cm² , 35 psi) provided that it does not exceed the maximum cold tire inflation pressure molded on the tire sidewall.

   Cold tire inflation pressure 

   for TMC Made 2GR-FE engine models: 

   COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE (FOR TMC MADE 2GR-FE ENGINE MODELS)
   
   

   Tire size	Front kPa (kgf*cm2 , psi)	Rear kPa (kgf*cm2 , psi)
   P215/60R16 94V	210 (2.1, 30)	210 (2.1, 30)

   When driving under the above vehicle conditions at sustained high speeds above 160 km/h (100 mph), in countries where such speeds are permitted bylaw, inflate the front and rear tires to 240 kPa (2.4 kgf*cm² , 35 psi) provided that it does not exceed the maximum cold tire inflation pressure molded on the tire sidewall.

   Cold tire inflation pressure 

   for TMMK Made 2AZ-FE engine models: 

   COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE (FOR TMMK MADE 2AZ-FE ENGINE MODELS)
   
   

   Tire size	Front kPa (kgf*cm2 , psi)	Rear kPa (kgf*cm2 , psi)
   P215/60R16 94V P215/55R17 93V	220 (2.2, 32)	220 (2.2, 32)

   When driving under the above vehicle conditions at sustained high speeds above 160 km/h (100 mph), in countries where such speeds are permitted bylaw, inflate the front and rear tires to 240 kPa (2.4 kgf*cm² , 35 psi) provided that it does not exceed the maximum cold tire inflation pressure molded on the tire sidewall.

   Cold tire inflation pressure 

   for TMMK Made 2GR-FE engine models: 

   COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE (FOR TMMK MADE 2GR-FE ENGINE MODELS)
   
   

   Tire size	Front kPa (kgf*cm2 , psi)	Rear kPa (kgf*cm2 , psi)

   P215/55R17 93V	220 (2.2, 32)	220 (2.2, 32)

   When driving under the above vehicle conditions at sustained high speeds above 160 km/h (100 mph), in countries where such speeds are permitted bylaw, inflate the front and rear tires to 240 kPa (2.4 kgf*cm² , 35 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.

   Tire runout: 

   1.4 mm (0.055 in.) or less

1. Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.
2. Steel wheel
   1. If necessary, check and adjust the on-the-car balance.

      Imbalance after adjustment: 

      8.0 g (0.018 lb.) or less.

3. Except for steel wheel
   1. If necessary, check and adjust the on-the-car balance.

      Imbalance after adjustment: 

      8.0 g (0.018 lb.) or less.

      NOTE:

      • Remove dirt, oil and water from the surface where the balance weight is to be adhered with a cleaning detergent.
      • Do not touch the sticking surface of the tape.
      • Adhere the sticking type balance weight to the flat position shown in the illustration.
      • Push the balance weight securely with a finger to adhere it to the position.
      • Do not reuse the balance weight.

      HINT:

      The inner side balance weight should be installed by clipping it to the rim.
