TYRES
(1/4)
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have tread wear indica-
tors
1
, which are wear warning strips
moulded into the tread at several
points .
The tyres are the only contact between
the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-
tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
comply with the local regulations set
out in the Highway Code.
When the tyre tread has been worn to
the level of the wear indicators,
they
become visible
2: it is
then
necessary
to replace your tyres because the tread
rubber is
no more than 1.6 mm deep,
resulting in poor roadholding on wet
roads
.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys
by motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on poorly
surfaced minor roads will lead to more
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the
kerb, may damage the tyres
and wheel rims, and could
also lead to misalignment of the
front or rear axle geometry. In this
case, have the condition of these
checked by an approved dealer.
