TYRES
Check the tyre pressures when you
refuel and when the tyres are cold.
Remember to also check the spare tyre.
Observe the correct tyre pressures
especially with high payloads and when
driving at high speeds.
Under-inflation reduces stability,
increases rolling resistance, accelerates
tyre wear and causes preliminary
damage that may lead to accidents.
Mounting kerbs is not recommended,
but if you have to, do so slowly. If
possible, approach with the wheels at a
right angle to the kerb. Avoid steep and
sharp edged obstacles.
Do not scrub the tyre sidewalls when
parking. Regularly examine the tyre
surface for cuts, foreign bodies and
uneven wear. An uneven tread wear
pattern could indicate faulty wheel
alignment. Have the wheel alignment on
your vehicle checked if you find uneven
tyre wear.
The legal requirement for minimum
tread depth is 1.6 mm. However tyre
performance and safety tend to drop
after a limit of 3 mm is reached. The risk
of aquaplaning is considerably higher
with less tread.
Tyre rotation
The illustrated sequences should be
followed when tyre rotation is performed.
