11.11.1 Tyre pressures
•
The required tyre pressure is dependent on
ο
tyre size.
ο
tyre load rating.
ο
speed of travel.
•
The operational performance of the tyres is reduced
ο
by overloading.
ο
if tyre pressure is too low.
ο
if tyre pressure is too high.
•
Check tyre pressures regularly when the tyres are cold, i.e. be-
fore starting a run.
•
The difference in pressure between the tyres on one axle must
be no greater than 0.1 bar.
•
Tyre pressure can be raised by up to 1 bar after a fast run or in
warm weather. Tyre pressure should on no account be reduced
as it is then too low when the tyres cool down.
