Grand Vitara 2WD V6-3.2L (2010)
The "high spot" of the tire is originally marked by paint dot on the outboard sidewall. This paint dot will eventually wash off the tire.
The "low spot" of the wheel is originally marked by paint dot on the wheel rim-flange. Properly assembled, the wheel rims' paint dot (1) should be
aligned with the tires' paint dot (2) as shown in the figure.
Whenever a tire is dismounted from its wheel, it should be remounted so that the tire and wheel are matched. If the tire's paint dot (2) cannot be
located, a line should be scribed on the tire and wheel before dismounting to assure that it is remounted in the same position.
