Winter tire
Because the summer tire’s applicability is
limited, advice to use winter tires (M+S tire)
on ice and snow pavement. If install the
M+S tires, all wheels should be installed to
insure safety driving. You can only use tire
with same brand and same form. When
buying, you should pay attention to tire’s
size
、 load range and speed rating.
Install the winter tires according to the
marks on the register card. When installing
tires according to tire regulations of EEC, if
vehicle original designed speed exceeds the
Max. permissible speed of winter tire, you
should stick a label to one position which
the driver can be easy to see, writing the
MAX. permissible speed of winter tire. The
tire dealer can supply this kind of labels. If
you have questions, please refer to BYD
authorized service station.
Tire chains
Snow tire chains are used only for
emergency or in the special area where they
are required by driving condition or local
laws. Install them only on the front wheel.
You need more careful when you drive your
vehicle with snow tire chains on ice and
snow pavement. Comparing with the
high-grade winter tire without chains, the
forecasting and handling of the tire with
chains is quite worse. Some chains may also
damage vehicle’s tire
、 wheel 、 suspension
and body. You should choose with chains to
make enough free space between tire and
other parts in the wheel cowl. Look over
and read parts assembly graph and other
instructions of chain factory carefully.
Before you want to buy chains and install
them on the vehicle, you should refer to
BYD authorized service station.
After installing the chains, the speed driving
on the ice and snow pavement should be
below 30 km/h. To furthest lighten the
werainf of tires and chains, you should
avoid driving with the tire installed chains
on the pavement without ice and snow.
