Wheels And Tires - General Information; Wheels And Tires Specifications - Chery Tiggo 2009 Service Manual

Description
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the best overall performance for normal
operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle's requirements. With proper care they will give
excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread life.
Tire Identification
• Tire type, size, load index and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on the side wall
of the tire.
Spare Tire
• A full size spare tire and wheel assembly is standard equipment on this vehicle. The original tire should be
repaired or replaced at the first opportunity, then reinstalled.
Operation
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain, in most cases, much
greater mileage than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driving habits which will shorten the life of any tire
are:
• Rapid acceleration
• Severe application of brakes
• High-speed driving
• Taking turns at excessive speeds
• Striking curbs and other obstacles
• Operating vehicle with over or under inflated tire pressures
