Maintenance and service/Tires and wheels
NOTE
. The air pressure in a tire increases
by approximately 4.3 psi (30 kPa, 0.3
kgf/cm 2 ) when the tire becomes warm.
. The tires are considered cold when
the vehicle has been parked for at least
three hours or has been driven less
than one mile (1.6 km).
. Correct tire pressure (tread worn
evenly) . Abnormally low tire pressure (tread
worn at shoulders)
Roadholding is good, and steering is
responsive. Rolling resistance is low, so
fuel consumption is also lower. Rolling resistance is high, so fuel con-
sumption is also higher.
WARNING
Do not let air out of warm tires to
adjust pressure. Doing so will result
in low tire pressure.
Incorrect tire pressures detract from con-
trollability and ride comfort, and they
cause the tires to wear abnormally.
