WHEELS AND TYRES
Pressures
Adjust tyre pressures in
accordance with
the recommendations
given
below. These
pressures are satisfactory for sustained
speeds
up to 130 m.p.h.
(210
km.h.).
NOTE: Should the
vehicle
be tuned to increase its maximum
speed, or be used
for
racing, consult the respective tyre
company regarding the need for tyres of
full racing
constructron.
Never
bleed a warm tyre but always adjust the
pressures
whilst
the
tyres are cold,
i.e.,
before a run. As the tyres
warm up their
pressures
will increase.
To prolong tyre
life,
avoid severe braking, sudden
changes
of
direction
at speed, and driving over or against
high
kerbstones,
as
this can
result in
severe
damage to the tyre walls.
Examine the
tvres
occasionallv and
remove flints
or other
road
matter which
may have become
embedded
in the
treads.
Cleaning
Wipe off
any
oil
or
grease
which
may bc
on
the tyres by using
a cloth
moistened
in
petrol.
The
tyres should
then be washed,
using only
soap and water.
Wheel
Run-out
and Ovality
The maximum tolerances
for
both
run-out and ovality
are
as
follows:
Press steel wheels
Wire spoke wheels
0'070"
(0'18
mm.)
0'060"
(0'15
mm.)
Excessive
run-out
and
and faulty
steering.
ovalitv
will result
in
severe
tvre wear
