Delivery
• Avoid unnecessary parking outdoors. Direct exposure to
sunlight/UV radiation causes the tyres to age more
quickly. As a result, the tread surface hardens and
corner pieces break out of the tread.
• The tyres must be changed when the tread is less than
1 mm / 0.04" to ensure safe driving behaviour.
• The tyres should be replaced every
2 years
regardless
of wear and tear.
