TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
TIRE AND WHEEL MATCHING AND MOUNTING
WARNING
Any attempt to mount a tire on a wheel with a different diameter
will result in an explosion of the tire/wheel assembly that could
cause severe personal injury or death.
Prior to mounting any tire, always check the wheel identifi cation
stamp to verify the correct wheel diameter. Always check the tire
size molded onto the sidewall.
Never exceed 40 psi when seating the tire beads onto the wheel.
Always stand well clear of any tire mounting operation. This
is especially important when the service operator infl ates the
tire. If the tire has been improperly mounted, it could burst with
explosive force causing serious personal injury or death.
A new valve stem must be installed on the wheel each time a
worn out passenger or light truck tire is replaced.
Removing and replacing tires on wheels can be dangerous.
Attempting to mount tires with improper tools or procedures could
result in a tire explosion, causing serious personal injury or death.
This is a job for your authorized Nitto
®
dealer or other qualifi ed tire
service location only.
Serious personal injury or death can result from:
• Failure to select the proper tire and wheel. The tire must
match the width and diameter requirements of the wheel.
When mounting truck type radial tires use only wheels
approved for radial tires.
• Failure to inspect both the tire and wheel. The wheel must
be free of cracks, dents, chips, and rust. The tire must be
free of bead damage, cuts, and punctures.
• Failure to follow proper procedures. For proper mounting
procedures, consult the Rubber Manufacturers
Association’s publication “Care and Service of
Automobile and Light Truck Tires” (ref.: www.rma.org).
• Exceeding the maximum bead seating pressure of 40
psi. Be absolutely certain beads are fully seated before
adjusting the infl ation pressure to the level recommended
for vehicle operation.
Never put fl ammable substances in the tire/wheel assemblies at
any time. Never put any fl ammable substance into a tire/wheel
assembly and attempt to ignite it in order to seat the beads.
