.
Replace the tyres when they are
worn to the point where the
tread wear indicators (TWI)
appear.
The tyres originally fitted to the
vehicle have built in TWI. These
show as plain bars across the
tread pattern at regular intervals
across the tyre.
.
If there is more wear on the front
tyres than on the rear tyres,
swap the front and rear wheels.
.
Tyres age even if they are not
used. Replacement of tyres
every six years is recommended.
{
Warning
Do not attempt to drive on a flat
tyre more than is necessary to
stop safely. Driving even a short
distance can damage the tyre and
wheel beyond repair. Tyres which
have been repaired or retreaded
are not capable of being driven
safely at high speeds. Therefore,
their use is not recommended.
Tyre Rotation
It is recommended that you rotate
tyres at every scheduled
maintenance service.
Driving conditions, driving
techniques, vehicle loading and
weather may warrant more frequent
tyre checks and rotation.
Front and rear tyres can wear
differently depending on:
.
Types of roads driven on
.
Driving habits
.
Tyre pressures
.
Wheel alignment and balance
New tyres should be fitted in pairs to
the front. If replacing only one tyre,
pair it on the same axle with the
least worn of the other three.
Buying New Tyres
Refer to the tyre placard on the
vehicle for tyre size and load rating.
Using a different size or type of tyre
may affect:
.

Speedometer accuracy
