Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage. Replace the
tyres if there are deep cuts or cracks. Also check each tyre for
pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous because of the
greater chance of skidding or hydroplaning. The tread depth of
the tyres must exceed 1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the
minimum requirement for use.
Tread wear indicators will appear in six places on the surface
of the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby indicating that the tyre no
longer meets the minimum requirement for use. When these
wear indicators appear, the tyres must be replaced with new
ones.
When replacement of any of the tyres is necessary, replace all
of them.

CAUTION
!
●
Always use tyres of the same size, same type, and
same brand, and which have no wear differences.
Using tyres of different size, type, brands or degree
of wear, will increase the differential oil tempera-
ture, resulting in possible damage to the driving sys-
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage,
component seizure, or other serious faults.
CAUTION
!
●
Avoid using different size tyres from the one listed
and the combined use of different types of tyres, as
this can affect driving safety.
Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 9-13.
