Tire And Wheel System: Inspection

INSPECT TIRE

Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.

Cold tire inflation pressure

COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE SPECIFICATION

Tire Size	Front kPa (kgf/cm² , psi)	Rear kPa (kgf/cm² , psi)
215/60R16 94V	200 (2.0, 29)	200 (2.0, 29)
215/55R17 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 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.

Using a dial indicator, check the tire runout.
Tire runout:

1.4 mm (0.055 in.) or less
