Wheels and tires

193

Have the old tires inspected 
by an experienced tire fitter, 
to make sure they can still be 

used safely. If the same tire has been 
on your car for 4 or 5 years, have it 
inspected by an experienced tire fitter.

Never fit tires of uncertain 
origin.

“Directional” tires have an 
arrow on their side showing 
the rolling direction. To keep 

the best performance when replacing 
a tire, make sure that the rolling 
direction corresponds to the one 
marked by the arrow.

During the tire life the rolling 
direction of the first fitting 
shall always be observed, also 

in case of “non-directional” tires.

Check the depth of the tire 
tread at regular 
intervals(minimum allowed 

value 0.063 in - 1.6 mm). The thinner is 
the tread, the greater is the risk of 
skidding.

Drive carefully on wet roads 
to decrease the risk of 
aquaplaning.
