Fitting new tyres
For your safety and to
comply with the law.
When they need to be
replaced, only tyres of
the same make, size, type and
profile should be used on a single
axle.
They must either have a load
capacity and speed rating at
least equal to those of the origi
nal tyres, or be recommended
by an authorised dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
