Winter Tire
If frequently driving on roads covered with ice
or snow is expected, it is better for the vehicle
to use winter tires. Although all-season tires
can provide excellent comprehensive perfor-
mance on most of the surfaces, they could not
provide the frictional force as you expected or
the same performance level as that of the win-
ter tires on the roads covered with ice or snow.
Usually, the use of the winter tires is to
increase the frictional force on the roads
covered with ice or snow. When the winter
tires are used, the traction may be reduced,
the road noise may be increased and the
life of tread pattern may be shortened on
dry roads. After the winter tires are
replaced, note the changes in vehicle han-
dling and braking.
For supply of the winter tires and selection
of appropriate tires, consult your Geely Ser-
vice Station. If you choose to use winter
tires:
• Tires of the same brand and tread pat-
tern should be used on all four wheels.
• Only use radial tires with the same size,
load capacity and rated speed as those
of the original tires.
• If you choose to use winter tires with
low rated speed, never exceed the max
-
imum rated speed of the tires.
Tire Pressure
Only tires with correct inflation pressure can
operate effectively.
Do not believe the words that under-
inflation or over-inflation of the tires
does not matter. It is not the case. If the
tires do not have sufficient air (under-infla-
tion), the following conditions may occur:
• Excessive deflection and deformation
• Overheating
• Overloaded tires
• Premature or irregular wear
• Poor handling
• Decreased fuel economy
If the tires have excessive air (over-infla-
tion), the following conditions may occur:
• Abnormal wear
• Poor handling
• Poor riding comfort
• Unnecessary damages caused by road
hazards
A tire pressure label is attached to this vehi-
cle. This label is located under the center
pillar LH on the outside of the vehicle, which
indicates the inflation pressures of the front,
rear and spare tires.
