Tread depth
The minimum tread height must never be less than 1 mm (0.03 in) and in any case not less than what is prescribed by the
legislation in force in the country where the vehicle is used.
If the tyre is worn or if any puncture in the tread area is larger than 5 mm, the tyre must be changed.
Changing a tyre
When changing a tyre, use the type and model recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other than recommended
tyres could jeopardise the drive ability and stability of the vehicle with consequent danger of accidents and risk of
serious injury and even death.
Replacements, repairs and maintenance are very important, require experience and must be carried out with the
appropriate tools. For this reason it is recommended going to a FANTIC MOTOR Dealer or a specialised tyre repairer for the
above procedures.
Precautions
High speed tends to open the tyre pressure valves (due to the centrifugal force generated by wheel rotation). Correctly
closed pressure valve nipples prevent a sudden drop in pressure of the tyres.
Check that the pressure valves always have caps fitted on them.
New tyres are covered with a slippery coating that disappears after the first few kilometres; ride with caution during this
period.
Do not grease the tyres with unsuitable liquid and do not clean them with petrol or any other diluent.
If the tyres are old, even if not completely smooth, they could harden and no longer guarantee good road holding. In this
case they must be changed. Take great care when removing/fitting tyres to avoid scratching or damaging the rims with the
tools and the vices.
