F3/F3R OWNER’S MANUAL
- 209 -
Never use second-hand tires on your BYD
F3.
Using tires whose previous history is
unknown is risk.
BYD AUTO recommends all four
tires, or at least both the front or both the rear
tires be replaced at a time as a set.
See “If you have a flat tire” in Section 4 for tire
change procedures.
When a tire is replaced, the wheel should
always be balanced.
An unbalanced wheel may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Wheels can get out of
balance with regular use and should
therefore be balanced occasionally.
Interchanging tires
To equalize tire wear and help extend tire
life, BYD AUTO recommends that you
rotate your tires approximately every
10,000 km. However, the most appropriate
timing for tire rotation may vary according
to your driving habits and road surface
conditions.
When rotating tires, check for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually
caused by incorrect tire pressure, improper
wheel alignment, out-of-balance wheels, or
severe braking.
Anti-skid chain selection
Use the tire chains of correct size.
Regulations regarding the use of tire
chains vary according to location or type
of road, so always check local regulations
before installing chains.
