Handling of tyres

Drive over kerbs at an obtuse angle. Otherwise the flanks of the tyres may
get pinched. Driving over a kerb at a sharp angle can damage the tyre and
result in it getting ruptured.
Drive over high manhole covers at a slow speed. Otherwise the tyres may
get pinched. Driving over a high manhole cover at high speed can damage
the tyre and result in it getting ruptured.
Check the shock absorbers regularly. Driving with poor shock absorbers
significantly increases wear.
If the tread wear is uneven, have the toe-in and the wheel camber checked.
Driving with an incorrectly set toe-in or a one-sided wheel camber leads to
a significant increase in wear.
Do not clean the tyres with a high-pressure cleaner. The tyres can suffer
serious damage within just a few seconds and rupture as a result.
Drive in such a way as to protect your tyres. Avoid braking sharply, revving
up too strongly and long journeys on poor roads.

Tyre pressure

Tyres overheat if the tyre pressure is too low. This can cause serious
tyre damage.
Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
Use only valves that are approved for the specified tyre pressure.
