Measure wheel runout with an accurate dial indicator.Measurements may be taken with the wheels either onor off the vehicle, using an accurate mounting surfacesuch as a wheel balancer. Measurements may be takenwith or without the tire mounted on the wheel.

Measure radial runout and lateral runout on both the inboardand the outboard rim flanges. With the dial indicatorfirmly seated next to the wheel and tire assembly,slowly rotate the wheel one revolution and record the indicatorreading. If any measurement exceeds the followingspecifications and there is a vibration that wheelbalancing will not correct, replace the wheel. Disregardany indicator readings due to welds, paint runs, orscratches.

Measure free radial runout on the center of the tire tread.The tread can be taped to present a smooth surface.Measure free lateral runout on the outboard side of thetire nearest to the tread.

Perform wheel balancing with an electronic off-vehiclebalancer. The balancer is easy to use and gives both astatic and a dynamic balance. Unlike on-vehicle balancing,the off-vehicle balancer does not correct for drum orrotor imbalance. This drawback is overcome by its accuracy(usually to within 1/8 ounce). Secure the wheel onthe balancer with a cone through the back side of thecenterhole, not through the wheel bolt holes.

There are two ways to correct properly balanced tireswhich still vibrate. One method uses an automatic machinewhich loads the tire and buffs small amounts ofrubber from high spots on the outer two tread rows.Correction by this method is usually permanent and, if itis done properly, does not significantly affect the appearanceor the tread life of the tire. Tire truing with a bladetypemachine is not recommended because itsubstantially reduces the tread life and often does notcorrect the problem permanently.

Another method is to dismount the tire and rotate it180 degrees on the rim. Do this only on the tire andwheel assemblies which are known to be causing avibration because this method is just as likely to causegood assemblies to vibrate.

The tires and wheels are match-mounted at the assemblyplant. Match-mounting aligns the radially stiffest partof the tire, or high spot, to the smallest radius, or lowspot, of the wheel.

The high spot of the tire is originally marked by a redpaint mark or an adhesive label on the outboard sidewall.

The low spot of the wheel will be at the location of thevalve stem.

Before dismounting a tire from its wheel, scribe a line onthe tire at the valve stem to assure that it is remounted inthe same position.

Replacement tires that are of original equipment qualitywill have their high and low spot marked in the samemanner.

There are two types of tire and wheel balancing: staticand dynamic.

Static balance is the equal distribution of weight aroundthe wheel. Assemblies that are statically unbalancedcause a bouncing action called wheel tramp. This conditionmay eventually cause uneven tire wear.

Dynamic balance is the equal distribution of weight oneach side of the centerline so that when the assemblyspins there is no tendency for it to move from side toside. Assemblies that are dynamically unbalanced maycause wheel shimmy.

Remove all deposits of foreign material from the insideof the wheel.

Inspect the tire for any damage. Balance the tire accordingto the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.

If more than 85 grams (3.0 ounces) are needed to staticbalance the wheel, split the wheel weights as equally aspossible between the inboard and the outboard flanges.

Balancing the assemblies with factory aluminum wheelsrequires the use of special nylon-coated, clip-on wheelweights. These weights are designed to fit over thethicker rim flange of the aluminum wheel. Install theseweights with a plastic-tipped hammer.

Adhesive wheel weights are also available. Use the followingprocedure to install adhesive wheel weights.

Due to limited tire-to-body clearance on certain vehicles,recommendations for tire chain use are published in theOwner's Manual. When tire chains need to be used,most current Daewoo vehicles require SAE Class "S"tire chains. These may also be designated as 1100 Series,type PL tire chains. These chains are specificallydesigned to limit the "fly off" effect which occurs whenthe wheel rotates.

Be sure that only fine-link chains are used which do notadd more than 15 mm (0.590 inch), including the lock, tothe tread surface and the inner sides of the tires.

Manufacturers of tire chains have a specific chain sizefor each tire size to ensure a proper fit when the chain isinstalled. Be sure to purchase the correct chains for thetires on which they are to be used. Use rubber adjustersto take up any slack or clearance in loose chains.

Use of chains may adversely affect vehicle handling.

When tire chains are installed, follow these precautions:

To prevent chain damage to the vehicle, install thechains on the front tires as tightly as possible. Tightenthem again after driving 0.4 to 0.8 kilometer (0.3 to0.5 mile). The use of chains on the rear tires is not recommendedbecause they may contact the vehicle andpossibly damage it. If chains must be used on the reartires, be sure there is sufficient clearance between thechains and the body. Do not exceed 70 km/h (45 mph)or the chain manufacturer's speed limit, if lower. Avoidlarge bumps, potholes, severe turns and any other maneuverswhich could cause the tires to bounce. Followany other instructions of the chain manufacturer whichdo not disagree with the above instructions.

A Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) specification numberis molded in the sidewall near the tire size of all originalequipment tires. This specification number assures thatthe tire meets performance standards for traction, endurance,dimensions, noise, handling and rolling resistance.Usually a specific TPC number is assignedeach tire size.

Use only replacement tires with the same size, loadrange, and construction as the original. The use of anyother tire size or construction type may seriously affectride, handling, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicleground clearance, and tire clearance to the bodyand the chassis. This does not apply to the spare tire furnishedwith the vehicle.

It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs onthe same axle.

If it is necessary to replace only one tire, pair it with thetire having the most tread to equalize the braking action.

Although they may appear different in tread design, tiresbuilt by different manufacturers with identical TPC specificationsmay be used on the same vehicle.

Most vehicles are now equipped with steel-belted allseason radial tires as standard equipment. These tiresqualify as snow tires, with a 37 percent higher averagerating for snow traction than the non-all season radialtires previously used. Other performance areas, such aswet traction, rolling resistance, tread life, and air retention,have also been improved. This was done by improvementsin both tread design and tread compounds.These tires are identified by an "M + S" molded in the tiresidewall following the size number. The suffix "MS" isalso molded in the sidewall after the TPC specificationnumber.

The optional handling tires used on some vehicles arenot all season tires. These will not have the "MS" markingafter the tire size or the TPC specification number.

All Daewoo vehicles now use Passenger (P) metricsized tires. P-metric tires are available in two loadranges: standard load (35 psi maximum) and extra load(41 psi maximum). Most passenger vehicle tires arestandard load.

Most P-metric tire sizes do not have exact correspondingalphanumeric tire sizes. For example, a P175/70R13is not exactly equal in size and load-carrying capacity toan FR70-13. For this reason, replacement tires shouldbe of the same TPC specification number as the originals.If P-metric tires must be replaced with other sizes,consult a tire dealer. Tire companies can best recommendthe closest match of alphanumeric to P-metricsizes within their own tire lines.

The metric term for measuring tire inflation pressure isthe kilopascal (kPa). Tire pressure may be printed inboth kPa and psi. One psi equals 6.895 kPa.

See the tire label or refer to "Tire Size and PressureSpecifications"in this section for tire inflation pressures.

The tire label is permanently located on the rear face ofthe driver’s door and should be referred to for tire information.It lists the maximum vehicle load, the tire size(including the spare tire), and the cold inflation pressure(including the spare tire).

This vehicle comes equipped with a full-sized spare tire and wheel for AP/LAAM countries. A temporary(T105/70D14) tire is available for European Countries.

Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, haveexcessive lateral or radial runout, leak air through welds,have elongated bolt holes, or if the wheel bolts won’tstay tight or are heavily rusted. Wheels with excessiverunout may cause vehicle vibration. Replacementwheels must be equivalent to the original equipmentwheels in load capacity, diameter, rim width, offset, andmounting configuration. A wheel of improper size or typemay affect wheel and bearing life, brake cooling,speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle groundclearance, and tire clearance to the body and the chassis.The wheel offset is 49 ± 1 mm (1.93 ± 0.04 inches).Steel wheels may be identified by a two- or three-lettercode stamped into the rim near the valve stem. Aluminumwheels should have the code, the part number, andthe manufacturer ID cast into the back side.

The pressure recommended for any vehicle line is carefullycalculated to give a satisfactory ride, handling,tread life, and load-carrying capacity.

Tire pressure should be checked monthly or before anyextended trip. Check the tires when they are cold, afterthe vehicle has sat for 3 hours or more or has been drivenless than 1 mile. Set the tire pressure to the specificationson the tire label located on the rear face of thedriver's door. Tire inflation pressure is also given under "Tire Size and PressureSpecifications"in this section.

Valve caps or extensions should be on the valves tokeep dust and water out.

For sustained driving at speeds up to 140 km/h(85 mph), inflate the tires to the pressure recommendedon the tire. Sustained driving at speeds faster than140 km/h (85 mph), even if permitted by law, is not advisedunless the vehicle has special high-speed tiresavailable from many tire dealers. Tire pressures may increaseas much as 41 kPa (6 psi) when the tires are hot.

Higher than recommended tire pressure can cause:

Lower than recommended pressure can cause

Unequal tire pressures on same axle can cause
