WHEEL AND TYRE
Wear
All tyres fitted as original equipment include wear
indicators in their tread pattern. When the tread has
worn to a remaining depth of 0-06 in (1*5 mm) the
indicators appear at the surface as bars which connect
the tread pattern across the full width of the tyre. It is
illegal in the U.K. and certain other countries to continue
to use tyres on which the indicators are visible.
It should be noted that the properties of many tyres
alter progressively with wear. In particular the ‘wet grip’
and aquaplaning resistance are gradually but substan
tially reduced. Extra care and speed restriction should
therefore be exercised on wet roads as the effective tread
depth diminishes.
Incorrect wheel alignment will accelerate tyre wear.
Fins on the inside or outside edges of the tread pattern
are caused by excessive toe-in or toe-out respectively. As
fins may also be caused by high cornering speeds or road
camber it is better to have the cause ascertained by having
the wheel alignment checked (see ‘General Specification’
for data).
Damage
Excessive local distortion can cause the casing of a tyre
to fracture and may lead to premature tyre failure.
Tyres should be examined especially for cracked walls,
exposed cords, etc. Flints and other sharp objects should
be removed from the tyre tread; if neglected they may
work through the cover. Any oil or grease which may,
get onto the tyres should be cleaned off by using fuel
sparingly. Do not use paraffin (kerosene), which has a
detrimental effect on rubber.
Repairs
Tubeless tyres
A temporary repair can be made to tubeless tyres,
using a special kit, provided the puncturing hole is small
and confined to the central tread area. The following
precautions must, however, be observed.
1. Do not use more than one plug in each hole.
2. Do not use the tyre for high speeds.
3. Ensure that a permanent ‘cold patch’ or vulcanized
repair is made at the earliest opportunity.
Tubes
When repairing tubes, have punctures or injuries
vulcanized. Ordinary patches should only be used for
emergencies. Vulcanizing is absolutely essential for tubes
manufactured from synthetic rubber.
Winter tyres
Winter tyres are designed to give improved traction
and braking in mud and snow. Their performance on
hard surfaces may, however, be inferior to normal road
tyres and extra care is required when using them under
normal conditions.
Racing and competition tyres
Should the vehicle be tuned to increase its maximum
speed, or be used for racing or competition, consult the
respective tyre company regarding the need for tyres of
special or racing construction.
Valves
Whenever a new tubeless tyre is fitted, the Schrader
snap-in type valve must also be renewed. To facilitate
fitting, lubricate the valve with soap solution before
using a special tool to snap the valve squarely into an
airtight position in the rim hole.
