Tire information

This  model  is  equipped  with  tubeless
tires and rubber tire air valves.
Tires  age,  even  if  they  have  not  been
used or have only been used occasion-
ally. Cracking of the tread and sidewall
rubber,  sometimes  accompanied  by
carcass deformation, is an evidence of
ageing.  Old  and  aged  tires  shall  be
checked by tire specialists to ascertain
their suitability for further use.
