M ount ing and Ba lancing Your Tires

M ounting and balancing should be done by a

professional, using equipment designed for the job.Call us to access one of over 1 ,7 0 0 RecommendedInstallers who w ill be happy to assist you. For m oreinformation on Installers, refer to our website atwww.tirera ck.com/ installer/ index.jsp.

I f you boug ht a Tire and W heel Package, g o d irectly to pa ge 5 , the section o n Prop er Lug

N uts or Lug Bolts.

If you bought only tires or wheels, take them to a professional installer for mounting andba lancing . This is not a jo b to tackle by y ourself. To em pha size the risk most tires have the

following safety warning branded on their sidewall:

Serious injury may result from explosion of the tire/ r im a ssemblydue to improper mo unting never exceed 4 0 psi (275 Kpa) to

seat beads mount only on designated dia meter r ims onlyspecially trained persons should mount tires.

For more information on mounting and balancing, refer to ourweb site atww w.ti rerack.com/ ti res/ t iretech/ mountbal.htm.

NOTE: Bead damage to the t i re voids many

manufacturers warranties.

Proper Lug Nuts or Lug Bolts

W hile many aftermarket alloy w heels are d esigned to use your cars orig inal lug nuts or b olts, others require

new hard wa re. I t may be something as critical as dif ferences in the w heels lug seat design as show n b elow, or

something as simple as shorter lug heads to allow the wheels center caps to fit. If your new wheels require newhardware, your invoice wil l l ist the appropriate quantity identif ied by our part descript ion, beginning with an N for lug nuts or a B for lug bo lts followed b y the size, pitch, seat design, length and the app ropr iate lug

wrench socket size.

N OTE: Keep a set of your vehicles original lug nuts or bolts in the t r unk just in case you everneed to use your spare tire.

NOTE: If your vehicle uses two different tire sizes, makecertain to tell your tire installer to mount the larger size on thewheels used on the rear axle.

It usually takes only min utes to install tires and w heels on y our vehicle; butremember, theyl l prob ab ly be on for a t least 5,00 0 m iles and wil l roll over

a million times before its time to rotate them. To make those miles aspleasant as possible, you need to in stall your new Tire and W heelPacka ge correctly.

If you selected d irectiona l tires and / or a symm etric tires, the first stepbefore installing them is to match each tire and wheel to its final position

on y our vehicle. To p revent mistakes, actually set each w heel and tirearound your vehicle just as race teams do for pit stops.

Step 1: First test fit each wheel in its final position. Check for proper fit as

described b elow.

Note: If you only purchased wheels, it is imperative that test

fitting is done prior to mounting the tires.

The best place to f ind the correct procedure for t ire and wheel removal is

in the ow ners manual for your vehicle(we use hand tools exclusively; see

Photo A). I f you dont have a hoist, it may be easier to install new wheeland t ire combinations by raising your vehicle slight ly (see Photo B),

supporting it with jack stands (if available). Be sure to rest the stands or

hoist on a flat surfa ce. Then bo lt the tires and wh eels on the ra ised ca r a xle.

Step 2: W hen removing lug nuts or b olts, never use pow ered imp act wrenches ofany type. Its best to carefully remove lugs with a four-way wrench or a

socket on a breaker bar. An impact wrench may damage the lugs.

ATTENTION: Check the condition of the vehicles lug studs or wheel bolts as you loosen them. If youfeel any resistance or see any roughness after removing the wheels, correct it before reinstalling thew heels. M ost autom otive stores sell tap s and thread repa ir kits. W heels must fit flat aga inst the vehicle'shubs. Remove any rust and dirt from the hubs of brake rotors and drums. Remove any temporary

retaining devices, l ike stud clips, used to h old b rake ro tors and drums in p lace before the wheels wereinstalled at the factory (see Photo C). They may interfere with the flush fitment of your wheels against

the brake hubs. The exception to this rule: large bolts holding Hyundai rotors totheir hubs should not be removed. If aftermarket wheels have previously been used

on the vehicle, verify that the previous wheel's hub centering rings have been

removed from the hubs. I f your vehicle is equipped with drum brakes and if thedrums outer f lange or ba lance weig hts pro trude further o ut than the center o f the

drum, verify that the wheel seats on the hub are not against the drums outer flangeor balance weights. If you have any questions, contact your sales representative.

Step 3: Check the fit of the wheel onto the hub of the vehicle. (Some wheel applications may require the use ofa centering ring to create the proper fit onto the hub.) The bolt circle of the wheel must match that ofyour vehicle and the wheel must make full contact to the mating surface of the hub. If the wheel doesnot match up to the bolt circle of the vehicle, or the wheel does not have full contact to the mountingsurface, please contact your sales representative or our Customer Service Department at800-428-835 5, ext. 360 .

N OTE: W e suggest re moving the wheel and applying a t hin coat ing of ant iseize around t heaxle hubs to help prevent rust and permit easier removal when its time to rotate your tires.Do not apply antiseize to the lug hardware or studs.

Step 4: In order to verify that you have matching lug or bolt thread sizes, first install the lug nuts or boltswi thout the w heel.

Step 5: For the next inspections it will be necessary to temporarily install the wheel by snugging down the lugnuts or b olts in o rder to verify d isc bra ke caliper clearance. Start threading the lugs with yo ur f ingersand tighten them until they are finger tight. If you feel resistance while doing this, inspect the lug stud

and nut (or hub and bolt) to see if the threads are clean or obstructed. If the lug nut or bolt appearsob structed or d oes not match the thread pitch of your hubs, try a nother one. If another lug d oesnt threadany b etter, give us a call. W e will verify that you have the correct har dw are for yo ur ap plication .

NOTE: Do not force your lug nuts or bolts on with a wrench. They should be able to be turnedby hand.

If they cant, something is wrong! Please call The Tire Racks Customer ServiceDepartment at 800 -428-83 55 , ext. 360 . O nly after the lugs have b een installedby hand, unt i l f inger t ight , should you snug them down wi th your

four-way wrench or a socket on a breaker bar.

N OTE: Since the thickness of an a lloy wheel can differ from originalequipment wheels, also verify that the threads will be engaged by the lug nuts orbolts. Refer t o the chart (on right) to deter mine the number of turns or t he depthof engagement typical for your stud or bolt size.

Step 6: Put your vehicles transmission into neutral and turn each wheel by

hand whi le making certain that the outer edge o f the disc brake calip erdoesnt touch the inside of the rim or that the side of the caliper

doesnt come into contact with the backside of the wheel or the wheelbalancing weights.

If you have any concerns, CA LL US! W e wi ll be hap py to use our exp erience tohelp solve your prob lem. How ever, if everything is prog ressing as we exp ected,

its time to torque the wheels down.

N OTE: If you only bought wheels, youll need t o get your t ires m ounted.

PATTERN S

N OTE: W hen insta lling new wheels you should re-tor que them aft ertr aveling the first 5 0 to 1 0 0 miles. This is necessary because as the

wheels are breaking in they may compress slightly allowing theirlugs to lose some of their torque. Simply repeat the same torqueprocedure l isted above. For more information, refer to

www.tirerack.com/ wheels/ tech/ boltpatt .htm.

IM

PORTANT! W HEEL LUG NUT TORQUIN G

Proper installation requires that the wheel lug torque be set to the

recommended specification for your vehicle. These torque specifications

can be found in your vehicles shop manual or obtained from your

vehicle dealer. Finish tightening the lugs down with an accurate torque

wrench. Use a crisscross sequence (on right) until they have reached their

proper torque value. Be careful because if you over torque a wheel, you

can strip a lug nut, stretch or break a wheel stud, and cause the wheel,

brake rotor and/ or bra ke drum to distor t .

Checking Tire Inflation Pressure

W hen vehicle ma nufacturers select a tire size for a vehicle, they

evaluate the vehicles gross axle weights, the anticipated use of the tire,

and the tire diameter and width. Adjustments to these factors give themanufacturer a way to improve handling and appearance. This isespecially true for performance tire sizes. The size selected is rarely

limited to only on e capa bility (i.e. carryin g the vehicles weight).

The tire usually need s to have ad ditio na l load cap acity a s w ell. This extracapacity is important because without it all of the t ires performancewo uld be used up just carryi ng the weig ht of the vehicle and lit t le wo uld

be left for durabil ity at high speeds or responsive handling. For allvehicles produced since 1968, the original t ires sizes and inf lat ion

pressures (including the spare) are l isted on a vehicle placard.This placard ca n be located on:

The driver-side do or or d oor ja mb (Ford vehicles on the rearpassenger door jamb)

Glove box or counsel door

Fuel fi l ler do or

The engine compartment

Additionally, some manufacturers also list the original tire pressure

in the vehicles owners manual.I f a car s inf lat ion pressure has var ied f rom that which wasrecommended by the manufacturer, its likely that the tires wear andperformance characterist ics have also changed. For more information

on tire pressure, refer to ww w.tirerack.com/ t ires/ t iretech/ pressure.htm.


11/20

UN DERIN FLATIO N

If your vehicles tires are underinflated by only 6 psi it could lead tot ire failure. Addit ionally, the t ires tread life could be reduced by as

much as 25%. Lower inflation pressure will allow the tire to deflect(bend) more as it rolls. This will build up internal heat, increase rolling

resistance and cause a reduction in fuel economy of up to 5%. Youwould f ind a signif icant loss of steering precision and cornering

stabi lity. W hile 6 psi do esnt seem excessively low, r ememb er, itusually represents about 20% of the tires recommended pressure.

OVERINFLATIO N

I f your t ires are overinf lated by 6 psi, they could be damaged moreeasily when running over potholes or debris in the road. Higher inflatedtires cannot isolate road irregularities well causing them to ride harsher.

However, higher inf lat ion pressures usually provide an improvementin steering response and cornering stability up to a point. This is why

pa rticipa nts w ho use street tires in a utocrosses, track events and roa draces, run higher than no rma l inf lat ion p ressures.

The pressure must be checked with a quality air gauge as the inflation

pressure can not be accurately estimated through visual inspection.

Type of Vehicle Position Pressure

Front Wheel Front 35 - 45 psiDrive Rear 30 - 40 psi

Front Engine/ Front 35 - 45 psiRear Drive Rear 30 - 40 psi

Rear Engine/ Front 35 - 45 psiRear Drive Rear 35 - 40 psi

COM PETITION TIRE PRESSURES

The table at right suggests tire inflation pressures to be usedduring competition. Tires should be reset to normal inflation

pressures when returned to the street. These recommenda-tions should be used as a starting point. Pressure can beadjusted to match the drivers preferences.

Adjust pressure in 2 lb increments.


12/20

Effects of Time and Temperature

Tire inf lat ion pressures change due to t ime and

tempera ture. Tires lose about 1 psi per m onth due to a ir

escaping through the rubber as it stretches. If you wereto check your tires only every six months, it would not beuncommon to f ind them underinf lated by as much as 6

psi. Tire in flation p ressures also fluctuate wi th chang es inthe outside air temperature. This occurs at a rate of

about 1 psi for every 10F (plus or minus). So the tiresyou set correctly w ith an 80 F ambient tempera ture wil lbe und erinfla ted by 6 psi at 20 F.

If you add the variat ions of t ime and temperature

together, it is easy to understand why a tires inflationpressure should be checked f requent ly. Improperinf lat ion can cause t ires to wear irregularly a nd can void

manufa cturers war ranty.

A nother ad vantage of checking t ire pressure frequently

is that it allows a slow leak to be found and repairedbefore it permanently damages a tire. Tire pressures

should be checked once a week, preferably before the

vehicle has been dr iven. Spending ab out two m inutes aweek wil l help you get the optimum performance yourtires can offer!


13/20

Breaking In Your Tires

Tires are compri sed of many layers of rubb er, steel and fabri c.

Due to these different components, your new tires require a

break-in period to ensure that they deliver their normal r idequal i ty and maximum p erformance.

As t ires are cured, a release lubricant is applied to prevent

them from sticking in their mold. Some of the lubricant stays onthe surface of y our t ires, reducing traction unti l i t is worn aw ay.

Five hundred mi les of easy acceleration, cornering a nd b rakingwill allow the mold release lubricant to wear off, allowing theother t ire components to begin wo rking together.

I t is also imp ortant to note that your o ld t ires pro ba bly ha d verylit tle tread depth remai ning when y ou felt it wa s t ime to rep lace

them. As any autocrosser or racer who has t readrubb er shaved off o f his tires wil l tell you low tread depth t ires

respond quicker. Dont be surpr ised i f your new t i resar e a little slow er to respond (even if you use the exa ct sam e tire

as before). Their new, full depth brings with it a l it t lemore tread squirm until they wear down.

NOTE: Be careful whenever you explore the capabilitiesof your new tires. Remember that every tire requiresa break-in period for optimum performance.

W heel Pr eser vat ion and Cleaning

O nce your new w heels and t ires are installed, step b ack and take a goo d look.

The new, sharper appearance wil l accent your vehicle splendidly. They look

great now ; but unfortunately, your wheels are often the dirt iest par t of your ca rbecause they are constantly exposed to the elements (corrosive brake dust,

ocean or road salt, stones, cinders and st icky tar). For more information on

wheel care, refer to ww w.ti rerack.com/ wheels/ tech/ f inish.htm.

Here are a few t ips on how to maintain a wheels original splendor:

Before you install them, a coat of wax wil l help protect your wheelsand make them easier to clean.

Trea t the finish of your w heels as you w ould the finish of

your car. M ost al loy w heels today feature a pa inted and/ or a c learcoatf inish. The best wa y to take care of w heels wi thout dama ging their protectivefinish is by frequently washing them with a mild soap and water solut ion.Using a tar and bug remover can prevent permanent tar staining. Periodicwaxing will protect the wheels finish from the elements.

N ever use abr asive cleansers, steel woo l pa ds or polishing com pound s.

Bew ar e of automa tic car w ashes. Some washes use acid cleanerseither before or during the wash to remove dir t and grim e. O thers use st if f

brushes for cleaning wheels and tires. Both of these processes could harmyour wheels f inish. Ask the employees or manager of the car wash abouttheir equipment and procedures beforeentering the wash.

N ever allow your w heels and tires to be steam-cleaned . Hotsteam can d ull the paint and clearcoa t f inish on your w heels.


15/20

Dont clean hot w heels; w a it until they cool.

W ater dr ies much faster at higher temp eratures. Thus,cleaning wheels whi le they are ho t may cause your mild

soap solut ion to dry too quickly leaving spots or a f i lm ofsoap on your wheels.

Clean y our tires and w heels first, one a t atime. Tires and wheels tend to be the dirtiest parts of

your vehicle and have a variety of surfaces to clean. Soyou will want to use the full strength of your hose toinit ially r inse away all loose dirt and to f inally r inse off

your soap solut ion. I f you clean your t ires and wheelsf irst, you w ont expose your w ashed car to the over spra y

as you rinse them. Cleaning one at a time focuses yourattention and ensures that the soap doesnt dry on onewheel while youre cleaning another. Be sure to use a

different sponge on the rest of the cars body to prevent

scratching the paint from the part icles that may havecollected during the wheel cleaning process.

Clean w heels on a regular basis. Remember,

theyre often the dir tiest par t of your vehicle beca use theyare constantly exposed to the elements (corrosive brake

dust, ocean and road salt, paint-chipping stones andcinders and sticky tar).

Your new t ires and alloy wheels are l ike any othervaluable investment. You should protect them. Cleanthem a s you wo uld the rest of your car. Care for them a s

you would care for your entire vehicle.


16/20

Tire rotat ion can be b eneficial in several w ays. W hen do ne at the recommend ed t imes, it can p reserve ba lanced

handling and traction and even out t ire wear. I t can even provide performance advantages. Many t ire mileagewa rranties require t ire rotat ion to keep w arra nty valid. W hen should t ires be rotated? W e recommend that tires

be rotated every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, even if they dont show signs of wear. Tire rotat ion can often be donewith oil change intervals while the vehicle is off the ground. (This is also a good time to have your tires

reba lanced .) Tire rotatio n h elps even out tire wear by a llowing each tire to serve in as many of the vehicles wheelpositions as possible. Remember, t ire rotat ion can t correct wear pro blems due to w orn mechanical p ar ts or

incorrect inflation pressures.

W hile every car is equipp ed w ith four t ires, usually the t ires on the front axle need to a ccomplish very dif ferenttasks than the tires on the rear axle. And the tasks encountered on a front wheel drive car are considerably

dif ferent than those of a rear-w heel drive car. Tire w ear exp erienced on a perform ance vehicle wi l l usually be

more severe than those on a family sedan. Each w heel position can cause dif ferent wear rates and dif ferent typesof tire wear.

ROTATION PATTERN S

W hat tire rotat ion pattern should be followed ?

The Tire & Rim Association has identified threetradit ional rotat ion pat terns cover ing mostvehicles (equipped wi th non-dir ectiona l t ires and

wheels which are the same size and offset). The

first being the Rearward Cross (Figure A); thesecond being the Forward Cross (Figure C);an d the third is the X-Pattern (Fig ure B). The X-

Pattern can be used a s an alternative to A or C .1 6

Toda ys perform ance t ire and wh eel trends have pro vided the

need for two addit ional t ire rotat ion patterns.

A Front-to-Rear pattern may be used for vehicles equipped

with the same size directiona l wheel and / or d irectiona l t ires.This pattern is show n in Figure D. A Side-to-Side pa ttern ma y

be used for vehicles equipped with dif ferent sized non-direc-t ional t ires and wheels on the front axle compared to the rear

axle. This pattern is shown in Figure E.

If the last two rotation patterns do not provide even wear,

dismounting, mounting and rebalancing wil l be necessary torotate the tires.

Vehicles w hich use different sized w heels and tires and / or w heelswith different front and rear offsets with directional tires will

require dismounting, mounting, a nd reb alancing to rotate t ires.

It is an ad vantage w hen all four t ires wear together because aswear reduces a tires tread depth, it allows tires to respond tothe drivers input more quickly, maintains the handling and

helps increase a tires cornering traction.

And when your t ires wear out together you can get a new set

of t ires, without being forced to buy pairs. I f you replace t iresin sets of four you w il l maintain the original hand ling balance. Inad dit ion, o ur suppliers constantly introd uce new t ires, each of

which improves upon their past products performance. I f you

replace your t i res in sets of four, i t a l lows you toexperience todays technology, instead of being forced toma tch yesterda ys.

Speedometer Accuracy

I f you followed the recommendation of our sales staff regarding plus sizing for your

passenger car, this section is not applicable to your vehicle. If you purchased larger tiresfor your light truck or sport utility vehicle, you should verify your speedometer accuracy to

avoid unnecessary meetings with the local constable. Installing tires different than yourvehicles original equipment t ire size outside diameter may affect the accuracy of your

vehicles speedometer and odometer.

The chart (on right) is provided to help d etermine speedometer a ccuracy. I f youre d rivingon a highway that has a mile marker every mile, it wil l allow you to determine your

vehicles exact rate o f speed.

Follow the speed measuring instructions below:

1. Travel at a constant rate of speed on an openhighway and have someone record the number of

second s it takes to travel exa ctly one mea sured mile.

2. O n the chart, locate the numb er of seconds it

took your vehicle to travel one mile. The speedindicated next to the number of seconds is the

true average roa d speed o f the vehicle.

3. Repeat the measurement several times andaverage the results. Recalibrat ion of yourspeedometer is recommended i f s igni f icant

inaccuracy i s noted.
