• Keep dismounted wheels or tyres
in a cool, dry, and if possible, dark
location.
Invisible damage
Damage to tyres and wheels is often
not visible to the naked eye. If the
vehicle is vibrating unusually or tends
to veer to the side, this may be a sign
of tyre deterioration. Reduce speed
as soon as possible if you suspect that
has a wheel has been perforated.
Check whether the tyres are damaged.
If the outside of the tyre bears no sign
of damage, keep driving slowly and
prudently to the nearest specialised
shop so they can check your vehicle.
Foreign objects inserted in the tyre
• Do not remove foreign objects if
they have penetrated the inside of
the tyre!

Go to a specialised shop for
repair or replacement. SILENCE
recommends going to a SILENCE

The tyre tread patching compound
envelops the inserted foreign object
and provisionally seals the tyre.
Unidirectional tread tyres
The sides of unidirectional tyres are
marked with arrows. It is essential that
you follow this mandatory rotation
direction when mounting the wheels.
This guarantees best use of the tyre’s
properties in terms of aquaplaning,
adherence, noise, and wear.
Later accessory assembly
If you wish to replace or ret the
wheels, tyres, or hub caps, we
recommend that you ask an ocial
SILENCE service to consult on existing
technical possibilities.
• New tyres do not reach optimum
adherence until after the rst 500 km. As
such, we recommend that you drive with

a risk of having an accident.
• If the vehicle vibrates unusually or tends
to veer to the side while driving, stop
immediately and check the condition of
the tyres.

were used before.
WARNING
New wheels and tyres
We recommend that you bring your
