Tyrelettering(example),meaning
Thetyrelabelislocatedonbothsides.Certainlabelsmayonlybefoundononesideofthetyre,e.g.tyre
identificationnumberandmanufacturingdate.

Low-profiletyres
Low-profiletyreshaveawidertreadsurface,largerrimdiameterandlowersidewallsthanconventionalwheel/tyre
combinations.Low-profiletyrescanimprovethevehicle'shandlingandprecision.Theymayhoweverresultinaless
comfortablerideonunevenroadsurfacesandtracks.
Tyreswithdirectionaltreadpattern
Anarrowonthetyresidewallindicatesthedirectionofrotationontyreswithdirectionaltread.Thedirectionof
rotationmustbeobservedinallcases.Thismakessuretheyrunassmoothlyaspossible.
If,however,thetyreisfittedintheoppositedirectiontothetreadpattern,youmusttakemorecarewhendrivingas
thetyreisnownolongerbeingusedaccordingtoitsdesignation.Thetyresmustbereplacedasquicklyaspossibleor
befittedwiththetreadinthecorrectdirection.
Asymmetricaltyres
Asymmetricaltyrestakeintoaccountthedifferingbehaviouroftheinnerandouterareasofthetreadpattern.The
sidewallsofasymmetricaltyresaremarkedtoindicate"inside"or"outside".Maintainthecorrecttyrepositioningon
thewheelrim.
Mobilitytyres
Theword“Seal”isontheouterwallofthetyreifyourvehicleisfittedwithmobilitytyres.
Asealantappliedtotheinnersideofthetreadenclosesforeignbodiespenetratingthemobilitytyreandsealsthe
tyretemporarily.
