Note:
^ Speed and load ratings for the previous VR tires and new ZR tires can be confirmed by the individual tire manufacturer.

^ In case of a wheel change (e.g., light alloy for steel rims, be certain that the proper spare lug bolts are visibly kept with the spare wheel, to ensure proper wheel and bolt combination.

Lugbolts for steel and light alloy rims are not interchangeable!

^ Before mounting wheels, always clean the contact surface of the rims and axles of any dirt and corrosion.

^ When replacing tires, ensure that only tires with the tire/rim match point are used. Match points are designed to keep tire/wheel out-of-roundness within specified tolerances.
