126 Maintenance Tires, Wheels and Hub Maintenance Wheel Safety Information DANGER DANGER DO NOT attempt to repair wheels or tires unless you are trained and equipped to do so. Wheel and tire assemblies cannot be worked on without proper tools and equipment. Failure to follow this may lead to serious personal injury or death. DO NOT use mismatched wheel components. If they do not exactly match the original design specifications, they may cause failure or separation leading to blowout and an accident and personal injury or death. DANGER DANGER Failure to properly torque-tighten the wheel nuts can result in the breakage of wheel studs and the subsequent loss of wheels.
Loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury or death can occur. DO NOT install tires with a load rating that is less than stated on the Certification Label in the door frame. The tire could be unintentionally overloaded, leading to an accident, causing serious personal injury or death. DANGER DANGER DO NOT use oil or grease on studs or nuts. The tightening torque is affected and can lead to incorrect clamping loads between the rim and hub. This could lead to a loss of the wheel. Loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury or death can occur. DO NOT use mismatched tires on the same axle. Always use the same type (radial or bias ply) or size.
Mixing tires on the same axle will affect the roadholding and can lead to an accident, and serious personal injury or death. DANGER DO NOT install regrooved, retreaded or repaired tires on the steering axle(s). They could fail unexpectedly and cause the loss of vehicle control, leading to serious personal injury or death.
