WARNING
The wheel and tire assembly weighs approximately 350 lb (159 kg).
Use caution when handling wheel and tire assembly. Manually moving
wheel and tire assembly can cause serious injury or death.
NOTE
This task is applicable to both right and left wheel assemblies. If working on
ground that is not solid, place support plate under jack.

NOTE
Ensure that central tire inflation system (CTIS) is turned OFF.
NOTE
The vehicle can be driven when any of the wheel/tire assemblies is
non-operational. However, if the situation permits, and improved steering
is essential, replace damaged left or right front wheel/tire assembly with an
undamaged wheel/tire assembly from a rear intermediate position to
improve steering control and ride.

WARNING
• Vehicle can slip or roll off hydraulic jack. Personnel must not work
under a vehicle supported by a jack. To prevent injury to personnel or
damage to equipment, use the correct jack for lifting the vehicle.
Ensure that vehicle is jacked at the correct point. Only jack on level
ground. Ensure that wheel chocks are installed.
NOTE
If suspension is too close to the ground to gain suitable clearance to
correctly position jack stand and jacking plate, a hole may need to be dug
in the ground to accommodate the jack and jack plate.
Do not position jack on angled surface of front arm reinforcing cross
Member.

SUMMARY
For the Soldiers to change these 350 pound tires, it is no simple task.
It is a two man job and even with two guys it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to change
just one tire.
Use the basic issued items that came with vehicles in order to change the flat.
Most Strykers can remain combat effective if just one tire is flat, to its advantages of seven
other tires, but there are some situations where that one tire matters.
The tire needs to be changed if the ware is bad or if the vehicle needs to travel for long
periods of time.
If it can't be changed on-site, depending on how many tires are flat or how bad the flat is,
the vehicle may need to be towed by another Stryker or a wrecker vehicle to an area
where it can be serviced.
Having a flat tire on a Stryker can be a headache and even combat ineffective, but the
Soldiers can use it as an opportunity to perfect skills and contribute to the fight.
RUN-FLAT TIRES
• Run-flat tires are tires that have been equipped with run-flat assembly. A run-flat
assembly is essentially a solid rubber tire that fits inside the regular tire. To
reduce the heat created by friction, a lubricant is placed inside the tire during assembly
• In the event of complete air pressure loss to a tire as a result of a puncture, damaged
valve or battle damage, the vehicle remains mobile at slightly reduced speeds. The
run-flat tires can be driven up to 25 miles (40 km) at speeds up to 30 mph (48 km/h).
Speed should be reduced further if traveling over extremely rough terrain, to prevent
possible damage to wheel rims or suspension due to loss of cushion provided by an
inflated tire.

CONTROL MODULE
AUTOMATIC (CTIS) FUNCTIONS
•The engine must be operating for Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS) to function.
•The Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS) allows air pressure in all eight wheels to be
automatically adjusted from the driver’s station when the vehicle is stationary and
in motion.
• During normal vehicle operation, when the CTIS is turned on, it automatically checks tire pressure approximately
once every 15 minutes and adjusts tire pressure as required.
• The CTIS compensates for a slow leak in one or more tires. If a gross air leak is detected, tire is damaged and
continues to lose air pressure or a hose failure is detected downstream of the CTIS manifold, the annunciator panel
sounds an audible alarm, CTIS failure LED illuminates and the flat tire LED on the CTIS module flashes. The CTIS
automatically switches to run-flat mode, sending air to the tires in order to keep them inflated, this mode can be
cancelled by pressing the start button.
• If the vehicle speed surpasses the predetermined CTIS setting for approximately 30 seconds, the annunciator
panel sounds an audible alarm, CTIS failure LED illuminates and the orange over-speed LED on the CTIS control
module flashes. If the vehicle continues to surpass the predetermined CTIS setting for an additional 30 seconds, the
CTIS automatically adjusts the tire pressure to the next highest setting.
OPERATING CENTRAL TIRE INFLATION
SYSTEM
1. Set AUTO MASTER and AUX MASTER switches to on position (WP 0042).
2. Start vehicle (WP 0077).
3. Allow vehicle pneumatic system to reach operating pressure above 86 psi (593 kPa).
4. When on/off toggle switch is set to on position, an LED illuminates showing the
selected tire pressure setting.
5. Rotate vehicle weight configuration rotary switch on CTIS control module to desired
position.
6. Rotate terrain setting rotary switch on CTIS control module to desired position. The
corresponding green LED at the right of the selected terrain setting icon illuminates
or flashes.
7. Press push-button start switch on the CTIS control module.
8. Observe LED that corresponds to the selected terrain setting. The LED flashes to
indicate that CTIS has been initiated.
9. If the CTIS failure LED illuminates and the annunciator panel sounds an audible
alarm, and the orange over-speed LED on the CTIS control module flashes, perform
the following:

1. The vehicle weight configuration rotary switch is a three-position rotary switch that can
be rotated to Weight Group One (circle), Weight Group Two (star) and Weight Group
Three (square), depending on Stryker Family of Vehicles (FOV) configuration.
2. Each position accommodates vehicle weights from combat weight with or without SLAT
to combat weight with Add-on Armor (AoA) and/or Mission Equipment Packages (MEPs).
3. For air transport operations, rotate vehicle weight configuration rotary switch to Weight
Group One (circle) position, set terrain rotary switch to highway and press start button. A
pressure setting of 81 psi (558 kpa) must be selected for air transport operations (and
must be included in Air Transport Work Package (WP) in the IETM).

INFLATED/DEFLATED TIRE MANUALLY
NOTE
Tire pressure is 81 psi (558 kPa) for highway operation, 47 psi (324 kPa)
for cross-country operation, 22 psi (152 kPa) for sand/mud/snow operation
or 18 psi (124 kPa) for emergency operation.
DEFLATE:
1. Remove tire valve cap from tire valve stem (5).
2. Using tire pressure gauge, check tire pressure.
3. Using reverse side of tire valve cap, press on tire valve stem (5) to release air pressure.
4. Using tire pressure gauge, check tire air pressure.
5. Repeat steps until correct air pressure is reached.
6. Install tire valve cap back on tire valve stem (5).
7. Repeat steps for each tire requiring deflation.
