2.1.3 Check the tyre
• Using wheel and tyre other than the specified sizes could cause
unusual handling characteristics and poor vehicle control,
resulting in a serious accident
• The use of tyre sizes other than the specified sizes may cause
abnormal operation of the steering wheel, increase fuel
consumption, increase braking distance, vibration, improper
operation of ABS/ESP, or uneven tyre wear. It may also damage
the powertrain of the vehicle
• Use only the same tyres from same tyre manufacturer for all the
wheels. Otherwise, the powertrain may be damaged
• Check the conditions and pressure of the spare tyre as needed
and always keep it available.
• Check the tyre inflation and wear everyday and replace if
necessary
• Be sure to keep the specified tyre inflation pressure
• Check and adjust the tyre inflation pressure, including the spare
wheel, before any long journey. When driving the vehicle with
insufficient tyre inflation pressure, the tyre could be blown out,
because of standing wave symptom, resulting in severe injury
and death
What is “Standing Wave”?
During driving, the rotating tyre repeats deformation and
restoring movement in its tread portion. However, when a tyre
with insufficient inflation pressure rolls on the road with high
speed, a wave-like deformation occurs in the radial direction
near and behind the tyre tread portion. This wavy deformation
is called “standing wave”. If this symptom lasts for an extended
period of time, the tyre could be blown out in a short period of
time.
