Running-In New Tyres
When new tyres have been installed, speed should be limited,
particularly during the first 80 km or so of driving. Fast cornering,
hard braking, and harsh acceleration should also be avoided
during this period.
Tread Wear Marks
Tread wear marks (A) are
incorporated into the
construction of all tyres. These
marks are integral moulded ribs
spaced at regular intervals around
the circumference of the tyre and
extend across the full width of the
tread, in all primary grooves.
When a tyre has worn causing one or more of the marks to be
flush with the outer face of the tread the tyre has reached its wear
limit. It then becomes illegal in certain countries and must be
replaced.
Summer Tyres
The recommended tyres for this vehicle are asymmetrical and
must be installed to the wheel with the tyre mark ‘OUTSIDE’ on
the outside of the wheel rim.
The tyres are also of different sizes on the front and rear axles,
therefore complete wheels cannot be swapped between axles.
