wears to 1.6 mm or less, you will see the
indication mark. If you find the indicators in
two or more adjacent grooves, the tire should
be replaced. The thinner the tread is, the
higher the risk of skidding is.
If the tire tread is worn to 4 mm or below,
the snow tire function will be lost.
If you have tire damage such as cuts,
splits, cracks deep enough to expose the
fabric, or bulges indicating internal
damage, the tire should be replaced.
If a tire often goes flat or can not be properly
repaired due to the size or location of a cut or
other damaged, it should be replaced. If you
are not
sure, consult your BYD AUTO service station.
If air loss occurs while driving, do not
continue driving. Driving even a short
distance can damage a tire beyond repair.
Any tires which are over 6 years old must
be checked by a qualified technician even
if the damage is not obvious.
Tires deteriorate with age even if they have
never or seldom been used.
This applies also to the spare tire and tires
stored for future use.
Replacing your tires
When replacing a tire, use a tire of the
same size and construction, and the same
or greater load capacity as the originally
installed one.
Using any other size or type of tire may
seriously affect handling, riding,
speedometer/odometer calibration, ground
clearance, clearance, and the clearance
between the body and tires or snow chains.
CAUTION
Observe the following instructions.
Otherwise, an accident may occur
resulting in serious injuries or deaths.
●
Do not mix radial, bias belted, or
bias-ply tires on your vehicle, as
this may cause dangerous
handling characteristics resulting
in loss of control.
●
Do not use tires other than the
manufacture’s recommended
size, as this may cause
dangerous handling
characteristics resulting in loss of
control.
