pressure
Tyres overheat if the tyre pressure is too low. This can cause serious
tyre damage.
Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to
tyre burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
Use only valves that are approved for the specified tyre pressure.
Check the tyre pressure on cold tyres. Do not reduce the higher tyre
pressure when the tyres are warm.
The payload and the durability of tyres is directly dependent on the tyre
pressure. Air is a volatile medium. It is unavoidable that it will escape from
tyres.
As a rule of thumb it can be assumed that a filled tyre loses pressure at a
rate of 0.1 bar every two months. To prevent the tyres becoming damaged
or burst, check the tyre pressure regularly.
The contact surface of the tyre changes, depending on the tyre pressure.

The information on pressure levels is valid for cold tyres and loaded ve-
hicles.
Pressure in hot tyres is higher than in cold tyres. Therefore, check the
pressure when the tyres are cold.
Tyre pressures in bar.
Over 4.75 bar requires a metal valve.
When a replacement is needed, we recommend "Camping" tyres.
