Tires and Wheels
. Over inflated tires ( tread worn in center )
Ride comfort is poor . Also , the tire magnifies the effects of road surface bumps and dips , possibly resulting in vehicle damage .
WARNING
Driving at high speeds with excessively low tire pressures can cause the tires to deform severely and to rapidly become hot . A sharp increase in temperature could cause tread separation , and destruction of the tires . The resulting loss of vehicle control could lead to an accident .
& Wheel Balance s11av05
Each wheel was correctly balanced when your vehicle was new , but the wheels will become unbalanced as the tires become worn during use . Wheel imbalance causes the steering wheel to vibrate slightly at certain vehicle speeds and detracts from the vehicle ’ s straight-line stability . It can also cause steering and suspension system problems and abnormal tire wear . If you suspect that the wheels are not correctly balanced , have them checked and adjusted by your SUBARU dealer . Also have them adjusted after tire repairs and after tire rotation .
CAUTION
Loss of correct wheel alignment causes the tires to wear on one side and reduces the vehicle ’ s running stability .
Contact your SUBARU dealer if you notice abnormal tire wear .
NOTE
The suspension system is designed to hold each wheel at a certain alignment ( relative to the other wheels and to the road ) for optimum straight-line stability and cornering performance .
