New tires and wheels
–
Select the new tire and wheel carefully, and
make sure that the dimensions, load range,
rated speed and structure type of new tire are
the same as those of original one.
–
Replace at least two tires on the same axle at
the same time, rather than only one tire
individually.
–
Do not use tires of different dimensions or
types, and do not mix summer tires, all
season tires and winter tires in use.
–
Once wheels are installed, check whether the
tightening torque of the wheel bolts (125 ±
10N • m) meets the requirements.
Non-full-size spare tires
Spare tires and standard tires are different in
aspects such as structure, pattern, speed grade
and load index, and can not be exchanged.
After emergency use of the spare tire, it is
necessary to drive safely to the GAC Motor
authorized shop or the wheel repair shop as soon
as possible to replace it with a standard tire, so as
to avoid the hidden safety hazards of long-term
use of the spare tire.
WARNING
•
Spare tires can only be used temporarily
for emergency, and the maximum
driving speed shall not exceed 80 km/h.
•
The storage and service life of spare
tires is 6 years. It is prohibited to use
them beyond the time limit.
Summer tires
Summer is a rainy season. The tire tread depth
directly affects the driving safety in rainy days. In
summer, when the tire tread depth is less than 3
mm, there is a high risk of water slippage.
Winter tires
Winter tires still have good grip performance when
roads are covered with snow and ice. The
specially designed rubber tread makes the tires
less affected by low temperature environment and
excellent braking ability, ensuring driving safety.
–
Use winter tires on all the four wheels.
–
It is recommended to use winter tires when
driving in icy or snowy days in winter or when
the temperature is below 7°C.
–
Use only radial winter tires of same
dimensions, load range and rated speed as
original ones.
