6. Usage and Maintenance
Summer Tire
As it rains a lot in summer, the depth of tread
directly relates to the safety of driving in rainy days.
In summer, a very high risk of hydroplaning exists
when the tread depth is less than 3mm.
Winter Tire
The winter tire has good holding performance
on the icy and snow-covered pavement. Benefiting
from special tread rubber design, the winter tire is
not likely to be affected much by the low
temperature environment and it has excellent brake
performance to ensure driving safety.
–
Winter tires shall be used on all four wheels.
– It is recommended to use winter tires in snowy
days in winter or when the temperature is
below 7°C.
– Only use the recognized radial winter tires for
the vehicle with the same dimension, load
range and rated speed as the original ones.
– It should be noted that sufficient tread depth
shall be reserved on the tread of winter tire
(The tread depth shall not be less than 4mm,
otherwise the winter applicability will be
restricted).
– After installing the tire, inspect the inflation
pressure of the tire.
Warning
• The winter and summer tires are designed
according to the traveling conditions on their
respective typical lanes under corresponding
season conditions. Winter tire is recommended
in winter. At low temperature, the adaptability
of summer tire is obviously poor, and it may
lose adhesive force and braking capacity.
• Under severe cold conditions, if a summer tire
is used, crack may appear on the tire, which
will damage the tire completely, and cause
excessive tire noise and out of balance.
Warning
• Winter tires may reduce the traveling traction
on dry roads, increase noise and reduce the
service life of the tread. When using the winter
tires, pay attention to changes in operation and
control.
• The maximum speed applicable to winter tire
is relatively low. Do not drive at a speed
beyond the allowable speed of the winter tires.
• Replace the winter tires with the summer tires
after the temperature rises back to above 7°C
to ensure driving safety and performance.
• When winter tires and a spare tire are used at
the same time, the vehicle is less stable during
turning and traveling. Adjust driving mode and
drive carefully.
