wheel rim well. Use tyre irons for the de- mounting/mounting jobs. The di- stance between the
tyre irons when catching the tyre bead should not exceed 150 mm.

Upon installation of new tyres, be sure to check the wheel balance at a service station. It is

not advisable to drive the car on new tyres at a speed greater than 100 km/h during the first
500 Km.

Every 10.000 Km interchange the wheels as shown in Pig. 52 to ensure uniform wear of

tyres. If abnormal vibrations in motion are detected, check wheel balance.
