TYRES
When they need to be
replaced, only tyres of
the same make, size, type
and profile should be
used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or be of a type
recommended by your
RENAULT Dealer.
Incidents which occur
when driving, such as
striking the kerb, may
damage the tyres and
wheel rims, and could also lead
to misalignment of the front or
rear axle geometry. If such
incidents occur, have the
condition of these parts checked
by a RENAULT Dealer.
Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact
between the vehicle and the road,
so it is essential to keep them in
good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road regulations.
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have
sufficient depth; tyres approved
by Renault’s Technical Department
have wear warning strips 1 in the
form of
indicators moulded into the
tread at several points.
When the tyre tread has been
eroded to the level of the warning
strips,
they become visible
2. It is
then
necessary to replace your
tyres because the tread profile is
no more than
1.6 mm deep and
this causes poor road holding on
wet roads
.
An overloaded vehicle, long
journeys by motorway, particularly
in very hot weather, or continual
driving on poorly surfaced minor
roads will lead to more rapid tyre
wear and affect safety.
