●
Replace the tire if bumps, or tread
or side damage are found. Tires
should be replaced if any of the case
happens.
●
Replace the tire if there are cracks on
its side, or if its fabric or cord can be
seen.
●
Replace tires with excessive tread
wear.
●
Tire treads are cast with wear bars.
When the tread is even with the wear
bar, its thickness is less than 1.6 mm.
The adhesion of tires worn to this
extent is very small on wet roads.
●
Tyres with exposed wear bars are
experiencing serious performance loss
and therefore must be replaced.
Maintenance
●
In addition to proper in󽗊ation, proper
wheel alignment also helps reduce
tread wear.
●
If uneven tire wear is found, go
to a BYD authorized dealer or
service provider and check the wheel
alignment.
●
The vehicle has been balanced in
the factory, but tires need to be re-
balanced after driving for a period of
time.
●
If there is some kind of continuous
vibration while driving at high speeds
(above 80 km/h), but not at low
speeds, go to a BYD authorized dealer
or service provider and check the tires.
●
If a tire has been repaired, be sure to
re-balance it.
●
When installing a new tire or replacing
a new wheel, always perform tire
balancing.
CAUTION
●
Improper wheel balancers will get
stuck, become loose and fall o󽗈.
While driving, this will damage the
car or surrounding objects.
●
Improper wheel balancers will
damage the aluminum rims of
the vehicle. Therefore, it is
recommended to use original
wheel balancers.
Tire Rotation
●
In order to make tires wear the same
and prolong their service life, it is
recommended to rotate tires every
10000km and conduct four-wheel
alignment, inspection and adjustment
as well.
●
When purchasing replacement tires,
you may 󽗉nd that some tires are
‘directional’, which can only be
rotated in one direction. If directional
tires are used, only the front and rear
wheels can be swapped in tire rotation.
