      TIRE PRESSURE SPECIFICATION

      Tire size Front kPa (kgf/cm2 , psi) Rear kPa (kgf/cm2 , psi)
      P245/55R19 103S
      P245/65R17 105S      		 210 (2.1, 30) 210 (2.1, 30)
      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 by law, 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.

      Imbalance after adjustment: 8.0 g (0.018 1b.) 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.
    • Push the balance weight securely with a finger to adhere it to the indicated position.
    • Do not reuse balance weights.

    HINT:

    • For 19-inch wheels both inner side and outer side balance weight are sticking type.
    • For 17-inch wheels the inner side balance weight should be installed by clipping it to the rim.
    • If necessary, check and adjust wheel balance using an on-the-car balancer.
  4. INSPECT FRONT AXLE HUB BEARING LOOSENESS 

    HINT:

    See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION .

  5. INSPECT REAR AXLE HUB BEARING LOOSENESS (for 2WD) 

    HINT:

    See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION .

  6. INSPECT REAR AXLE HUB BEARING LOOSENESS (for 4WD) 

    HINT:

    See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION .
