23.1 Tyres
23.1.1 General warnings
• Six years after the date of production, tyres are to
be replaced as, in the long run, rubber deteriorates
and tyres are no longer safe after this period has
elapsed. The date of production is indicated by
the four-figure code positioned on the tyre side,
where the first two figures indicate the week of
production and the last ones indicate the year.
• At regular intervals check the condition of the
tyres and in particular the depth of the tread: the
minimum depth is fixed by law.
• At regular intervals check that the bolts of the
wheels are tightened; tightening must be done
“crossing” (passing from one bolt to the one
positioned across from it and not to the one on the
right or left-hand side). Check the tightening after
the first 50 km traveled with the replaced wheel.
• When the tyres are new, for the first 100 km it is
advisable to drive with care and at a particularly
low speed, because when new the tyres do not
ensure a perfect grip.
• All the tyres mounted on the coachbuilt must be of
the same type, dimension and version (for example,
do not mount summer and winter tyres on the
same vehicle at the same time).
• See the registration certificate for information on
the tyres approved for the vehicle.
• Always observe the local legal requirements
regarding the use of winter equipment (e.g. snow
tyres, chains). The vehicle driver is responsible
for ensuring that the vehicle complies with these
regulations.
23.1.2 Tyre pressure
Correct tyre pressure varies depending on the type of
tyre, its size and the load on each individual axle.
See the chassis manufacturer manual for information
on correct tyre pressure.
Take into consideration that:
• an insufficient or excessive pressure results in an
irregular wear of the tyres and in anomalies in the
driving position of the vehicle;
• in case of low pressure, tyres can explode;
• pressure must be checked when the tyres are cold.
Example: week 12, year 2019
The load on each individual axle depends on any
optional equipment installed and luggage trans-
ported, in addition to the default layout.
NOTE
Tyre pressure must be checked at regular
intervals, especially after periods (even short)
when the vehicle is not used.
WARNING
In case the original tyres are replaced (for
example, with winter tyres), the recommended
pressure level for the replacement tyres may be
different from the level recommended for the
tyres fitted as standard equipment. Consequently,
it is mandatory to always follow the instructions
provided by the tyre manufacturer.
WARNING
In case of a long period of inactivity of the vehicle,
tyres could deform with serious consequences in
the driving position of the vehicle and its security;
we recommend to move the vehicle frequently, to
avoid this kind of inconvenient.
