2. Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the tires.
   

   Tire runout:

   1.0 mm (0.039 in.) or less
   

HINT:

If the rotating direction of the tires is specified, rotate the tires as shown in illustration "A". If the rotating direction of the tires is not specified, rotate the tires as shown in illustration "B". If the vehicle is equipped with a full-size spare tire, rotate the tires as shown in illustration "C".

1. Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.
   

2. If necessary, check and adjust the on-the-car balance.
   

   Imbalance after adjustment:

   8.0 g (0.018 lb.) or less.
   

   NOTICE:

   1. Remove dirt, oil and water from the surface where the balance weight is to be adhered with a cleaning detergent.
      
   2. Do not touch the sticking surface of the tape.
      
   3. Adhere the sticking type balance weight to the flat position shown in the illustration.
      
   4. Push the balance weight securely with a finger to adhere it to the position.
      
   5. Do not reuse the balance weight.
      
   6. Use the LEXUS genuine tape weight.
