Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this
warning can result in sudden and unexpected tire failure, leading to an accident and/or personal injury.
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible. Protect tires from contact with
oil, grease and fuels.
Do not use a tire, wheel size or speed rating other than that specified for your vehicle on the tire placard.
Combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension geometric and performance characteristics,
resulting in changes to steering, handling and braking of your vehicle. This can cause unpredictable handling, stress
to steering and suspension components. You could lose control of the vehicle or the tire can unexpectedly fail,
resulting in an accident and/or personal injury.
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer readings.
11.4.6 Snow Chains
Snow chains cannot be used on these tires.
In case of harsh winter driving conditions, it is recommended using winter tires with the same specifications for better
stability, safety and performance.
11.5 Tyre Rotation Recommendations
Type 1 - Applicable for all 5 Steel / 5 Alloy wheels
Tyres on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at different loads and perform different steering, handling, and
braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates and develop irregular wear patterns.
Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth,
quiet ride. Follow the recommended tyre rotation frequency for your type of driving.
Type 2 – Applicable for 4 Alloy wheels and Spare wheel with Steel rim
It is recommended rotating the tyres as per the “Maintenance Schedule”.
The suggested rotation method is the “forward-cross” shown in the diagram. The benefits of rotation are especially
worthwhile with aggressive tread designs such as those on On/Off-road type tyres.
