Low pressure can cause handling prob-
lems and the tendency to weave and in
extreme cases loss of control.
Moreover this will cause a great increase of roll-
ing friction.
The results are: high consumption of fuel and re-
duced maximum speed.
The disadvantage may cause a damage of the cover,
due to excessive local deformation.
c
Tyre pressure must be checked when the
tyres are at environment temperature,
that is, when the vehicle has not been moved in
the last 2 or 3 hours for more than 1 km.
a
Check the depth of the tyre tread often, if
it is worn below the allowable limit (2 -
3 mm.) change the tyre.
– The tyre should often be inspected for signs of
damage or cuts.
– Blowings or irregular wavings are showing in-
ternal damages, which request the prompt re-
placement of the tyre.

Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km
