7.8.4 Changing the wheels
The wear on tyres varies depending on whether the axle
– is driven/not driven,
– is steered/not steered,
– is braked/not braked,
– and whether it is subject to more or less load.
To achieve even wear, you must swap the wheels to different positions reg-
ularly.
This will have a positive effect on tyre life and performance.

the wheels

• Have a specialist workshop check the bolts on the two-piece aluminium
rims, using the appropriate special tool.
Depending on the manufacturer, the bolted connection can be recognised
by the bolts on the outer face of the wheel rim. On the inner face of the
wheel rim are nuts whose tightening torque you must have checked in a
specialist workshop;
