Maintenance
Check
■ When the tire pressure is checked each
time, must check the tire for damage,
foreign objects penetration and wear.
● Damage or protrusion on tire tread
or sidewall. Upon detection of any
situation, the tire shall be replaced.
● If there are scratches, cracks or
breaks on the side of the tire, must
replace it. If the tire fabric or cord is
visible, the tire shall be replaced.
● Excessive tread wear.
■ The tire tread is internally engraved with wear indicators. When the tire tread is worn to
such indicator, it indicates that the remaining tread thickness is <1.6mm. A tire with
tread worn to such degree has low adhesion on wet/slip roads.
■ When a tire tread is worn to expose the wear indicator, the tire performance is lost
remarkably and the tire shall be replaced.
Maintenance
■ In addition to proper inflation, the proper wheel alignment can also reduce the tread
wear.
■ If the tire is worn unevenly, it is recommended to contact BYD Auto Authorized Service
Station to check the wheel alignment status.
■ The tire balance has been performed before leaving the factory, but after a period of
driving, it may be required for re-balance.
■ If a certain continuous vibration is felt when driving at a higher speed (80km/h) but is
not felt at low speed, it is recommended to contact BYD Auto Authorized Service
Station for the tire inspection.
■ If a tire has been repaired, it must be re-balanced.
■ Ensure to fulfill the tire balance during installation of new tire or replacement with new
tire.
