PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

It is also important to regularly have a wheel alignment:

• Too much air pressure reduces the tyre tread contact area and

results in rapid wear in the centre of the tyre. It also causes tyres

to run hard and makes them more vulnerable to impact and other

road hazard damage.

Proper Inflation -

The correct profile

for full contact with the road.

Underinflation -

Causes abnormal

tyre deflection, which builds up

excessive heat, running the risk of

failure. It also causes irregular wear.

Overinflation -

Reduces the tread

contact area with the road surface,

concentrating all of the vehicle weight

on the centre of the tread. This causes

premature wear of the tyre.
