(cid:132) Tire care – maintenance and safety
practices
(cid:121) Check on a daily basis that the tires are free from serious damage, nails, and stones. At the same time, check the tires for abnormal wear. (cid:121) Inspect the tire tread regularly and replace the tires before their tread wear indicators become visible. When a tire’s tread wear indicator be- comes visible, the tire is worn beyond the ac- ceptable limit and must be replaced immediately. With a tire in this condition, driving at even low speeds in wet weather can cause the vehicle to hydroplane. Possible resulting loss of vehicle control can lead to an accident. (cid:121) To maximize the life of each tire and ensure that the tires wear uniformly, it is best to rotate the tires every 7,500 miles (12,500 km). Rotating the tires involves switching the front and rear tires on the right-hand side of the vehicle and similarly switching the front and rear tires on the
13-8
left-hand side of the vehicle. (Each tire must be kept on its original side of the vehicle.) Replace any damaged or unevenly worn tire at the time of rotation. After tire rotation, adjust the tire pres- sures and make sure the wheel nuts are correct- ly tightened. A tightening torque specification and a tightening sequence specification for the wheel nuts can be found “Flat tires” section in chapter 9.
(cid:132) Vehicle load limit – how to determine The load capacity of your vehicle is determined by weight, not by available cargo space. The load limit of your vehicle is shown on the vehicle placard attached to the driver’s side B-pillar. Lo- cate the statement “The combined weight of oc- cupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard. The vehicle placard also shows seating capacity of your vehicle. The total load capacity includes the total weight of driver and all passengers and their belong- ings, any cargo, any optional equipment such as a trailer hitch, roof rack or bike carrier, etc., and
the tongue load of a trailer. Therefore cargo ca- pacity can be calculated by the following method. Cargo capacity = Load limit – (total weight of oc- cupants + total weight of optional equipment + tongue load of a trailer (if applicable)) For towing capacity information and weight lim- its, refer to “Trailer towing” in chapter 8. (cid:84) Calculating total and load capacities vary-
ing seating configurations
Calculate the available load capacity as shown in the following examples:

Example 1A
UBD005BA
Vehicle capacity weight of the vehicle is 800 lbs (363 kg), which is indicated on the vehicle plac- ard with the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 363
kg or 800 lbs”. For example, if the vehicle has one occupant weighing 154 lbs (70 kg) plus cargo weighing 551 lbs (250 kg). 1. Calculate the total weight.– CONTINUED – 13-9
Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
Total weight = 154 lbs (70 kg) + 551 lbs (250 kg)
(Occupant)
(Cargo)
= 705 lbs (320 kg) 2. Calculate the available load capacity by sub- tracting the total weight from the vehicle capacity weight of 800 lbs (363 kg).
Available Load Capacity = 800 lbs (363 kg) 705 lbs (320 kg) (Total weight)
(Vehicle
capacity weight)
= 95 lbs (43 kg) 3. The result of step 2 shows that a further 95 lbs (43 kg) of cargo can be carried.

(Vehicle
capacity weight) = 81 lbs ( 37 kg) 3. The total weight now exceeds the capacity weight by 81 lbs (37 kg), so the cargo weight must be reduced by 81 lbs (37 kg) or more.
UBD006BA
Vehicle capacity weight of the vehicle is 800 lbs (363 kg), which is indicated on the vehicle plac- ard with the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 363
kg or 800 lbs”. For example, the vehicle has one occupant weighing 165 lbs (75 kg) plus cargo weighing 265 lbs (120 kg). In addition, the vehicle is fitted with a trailer hitch weighing 22 lbs (10 kg), to which is attached a trailer weighing 1,764 lbs (800kg). 10% of the trailer weight is applied to – CONTINUED – 13-11Consumer information and Reporting safety defects

(Tongue load)
= 628 lbs (285 kg) 2. Calculate the available load capacity.
Available Load Capacity = 800 lbs (363 kg) 628 lbs (285 kg) (Total weight)
(Vehicle
capacity weight) = 172 lbs (78 kg)
3. The result of step 2 shows that a further 172
lbs (78 kg) of cargo can be carried.13-12
UBD007BA
For example, if a person weighing 143 lbs (65
kg) and a child weighing 40 lbs (18 kg) now enter the same vehicle (bringing the number of occu- pants to three), and a child restraint system weighing 11 lbs (5 kg) is installed in the vehicle for the child to use, the calculations are as fol- lows: 1. Calculate the total weight.Total weight = 165 lbs (75 kg) + 143 lbs (65 kg) + 40 lbs (18 kg)
(Occupant)
+ 11 lbs (5 kg) + 265 lbs (120 kg)
(Child restraint)
(Cargo)
+ 22 lbs (10 kg) + 176 lbs (80 kg)
(Trailer hitch)
(Tongue load)
= 822 lbs (373 kg)
2. Calculate the available load capacity.
Available Load Capacity = 800 lbs (363 kg) 822 lbs (373 kg) (Total weight)
(Vehicle
capacity weight) = 22 lbs ( 10 kg) 3. The total weight now exceeds the capacity weight by 22 lbs (10 kg), so the cargo weight must be reduced by 22 lbs (10 kg) or more.
Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
(cid:132) Determining compatibility of tire and
vehicle load capacities
The sum of four tires’ maximum load ratings must exceed the maximum loaded vehicle weight (“GVWR”). In addition, sum of the maxi- mum load ratings of two front tires and of two rear tires must exceed each axle’s maximum loaded capacity (“GAWR”). Original equipment tires are designed to fulfill those conditions. The maximum loaded vehicle weight is referred to Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). And each axle’s maximum loaded capacity is referred to Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). The GVWR and each axle’s GAWR are shown on the vehicle certification label affixed to the driver’s door. The GVWR and front and rear GAWRs are de- termined by not only the maximum load rating of tires but also loaded capacities of the vehicle’s suspension, axles and other parts of the body. Therefore, this means that the vehicle cannot necessarily be loaded up to the tire’s maximum load rating on the tire sidewall.

(cid:132) Adverse safety consequences of over- loading on handling and stopping and on tires
Overloading could affect vehicle handling, stop- ping distance, vehicle and tire as shown in the following. This could lead to an accident and possibly result in severe personal injury. (cid:121) Vehicle stability will deteriorate. (cid:121) Heavy and/or high-mounted loads could in- crease the risk of rollover. (cid:121) Stopping distance will increase. (cid:121) Brakes could overheat and fail. (cid:121) Suspension, bearings, axles and other parts of the body could break or experience accelerated wear that will shorten vehicle life. (cid:121) Tires could fail. (cid:121) Tread separation could occur. (cid:121) Tire could separate from its rim.
(cid:132) Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds” on your vehicle’s placard.
13-14
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds. 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg). and there will be five- 150 lbs (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail- able cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 – 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs.) 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available car- go and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehi- cle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
Uniform tire quality grading stan- dards This information indicates the relative perfor- mance of passenger car tires in the area of treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance. This is to aid the consumer in making an in- formed choice in the purchase of tires. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A The quality grades apply to new pneumatic tires for use on passenger cars. However, they do not apply to deep tread, winter type snow tires, space-saver or temporary use spare tires, tires with nominal rim diameters of 12 inches or less, or to some limited production tires. All passenger car tires must confirm to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.
(cid:132) Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified gov- ernment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1-1/2) times as well on the govern- ment course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
(cid:132) Traction AA, A, B, C The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as mea- sured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and con- crete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction – CONTINUED – 13-15
Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
and not overloaded. Excessive speed, un- derinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
(cid:132) Temperature A, B, C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and exces- sive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of perfor- mance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan- dards No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
The temperature grade for this tire is es- tablished for a tire that is properly inflated
