Tire profiles
A minimum profile depth is prescribed for tires
by law. Observe the legislation for the relevant
country.
For safety reasons, change your tires before
reaching the legally advised minimum profile
depth.
WARNING
An excessively low tire profile may cause
loss of handling at high speeds in case of
rain or snow mud conditions. You may loose
your handling and cause an accident in
these conditions.
The Condition of the Tires
Check the following conditions regularly every
2 weeks and before a long haul to inspect the
condition of the tires:
- External damage
- Cracks and bulges on the tires,
- Foreign material in the tire profile,
- Irregular wear of the profile
WARNING
Do not forget that the external damages,
bulges and cracks on the tires may cause
blow-out of the tire. You may cause an
accident in these conditions.
CAUTION
Do not use radial and transversed tires mixed
on your vehicle.
Use same type of tires on both sides of the
same axle. Do not use radial tires on front
axles if the rear tires are transversed. Wrong
maintenance on the wheels may be extremely
dangerous.
Follow the instructions below strictly:
- Do not attempt to replace the tires if you are
not familiar with the required tools, and always
follow the instructions.
- Deflate the tires completely before removing
the valve.
Thoroughly drain the fluid.
- Do not inflate the tires without a protection
cage except normal pressure adjustments.
- Always check the tire pressures with the
wheel is cold.
Check the wheel nut torque when you load the
vehicle with full load for the first time. (750 Nm
+- 50Nm for front and rear wheels) Tighten the
wheel nuts alternately.
Important:
1- If the wheel nuts are removed and fitted
back for any reason, the wheel nuts shall
be checked 50 km after the operation. If the
torque values are not suitable, the wheel nuts
should be tightened to the suitable torque.
2- When a new or newly painted rim is used,
tighten the wheel nuts after 1000 to 5000 km
of driving.
