Wheel-Tire Assembly Description (for Vehicle Equipped with Steel Wheels)
Tires are match mounted on wheels at the assembly plant.
This means that the tire's radially stiffest point, or "high spot", is aligned with the wheel's smallest radius point, or "low spot" to ensure smooth ride.
The "high spot" is marked by a paint dot on the outboard sidewall of the tire.
The "low spot" is marked by a paint dot on the wheel's rim-flange. The wheel's paint dot (1) should be aligned with the tire's paint dot (2) as shown in
the figure when the wheel and tire are properly assembled.
As these marks may become invisible over time, put a line mark across the wheel and tire before separating them so that the tire can be
match-mounted again on the wheel.
