Replace Wheels
When to Replace Wheels
When the wheel has damage such as
bending, crack or severe corrosion, it
shall be replaced.
If damaged wheel is not replaced
timely, the tire may slip off the wheel or
cause loss of handling control.
Wheel Selection
When replacing wheels, make sure
that the wheels are replaced by ones
with the same load capacity, diameter,
rim width and offset.
Correct replacement wheels are
available at BYD authorized dealer.
A wheel of a different size or type
may cause serious affect on handling,
wheel and bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer/odometer calibration,
stopping ability, headlight aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance, and
tire or tire chain clearance to the body
and chassis.
Do not replace the wheel on your
vehicle with a used tire as they
may have been subjected to rough
treatment or high mileage and could
fail without warning. Also, bent wheels
which have been straightened may
have structural damage and therefore
should not be used. Never use an
inner tube in a leaking wheel which is
designed for a tubeless tire.
WARNING
Do not use a wheel of which the
size is not recommended by the
manufacturer, or the vehicle may
losing control and cause serious
injury or death.
