Tyres

Punctured tyres
Your car is fitted with tubeless tyres, which may not leak if
penetrated by a sharp object, provided the object remains in
the tyre. If you are aware of this occurring, reduce speed
immediately and drive with caution until the spare wheel can
be fitted.
A puncture of this kind will eventually cause the tyre to lose
pressure, which is why regular (and frequent) checking of tyre
pressures is important. Punctured or damaged tyres must be
permanently repaired or replaced as soon as possible. DO
NOT DRIVE WITH A PUNCTURED TYRE!
Replacement tyres
DO NOT replace wheels
with any type other than
genuine Rover parts.
Alternative wheels, which do
not meet original equipment
specifications may adversely
affect the car’s driving
characteristics and should not
be fitted.
Wheel rims and tyres are matched to suit the handling
characteristics of the car. Changing the specification of a
wheel or tyre can adversely affect the car’s handling and,
ultimately, your own safety in emergency road situations.
To be safe, ONLY fit replacement tyres that are identical to
the original specification shown in ‘Technical Data’ later in this
handbook. In addition, ensure that the load and speed ratings
shown on the side wall of each tyre are the same as those of
the original equipment. Contact your Rover dealer for
further information or assistance.
Always have replacement wheels and tyres balanced before
use.
SNOW CHAINS
DO NOT fit unapproved
snow chains - this could
damage brake components.
Unsuitable snow chains could damage the tyres, wheels,
suspension, brakes or bodywork of your car. Only fit snow
chains to cars that have been equipped with 195/65 R15 tyres
on 6J wheels, and only fit chains that have been
recommended by a Rover dealer and approved by Rover for
use on your car.
Care point: Avoid tyre damage
and excessive chain wear by
removing snow chains when
driving on snow free roads.
In use, always observe the following precautions:
•
Fit snow chains to the front wheels only.
•
Always adhere to the snow chain fitting and retensioning
instructions and the speed limitations for varying road
conditions.
•
DO NOT exceed speeds of 30 mph (50 km/h).
