Remember to check the spare wheel very
carefully;
❒ In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,
avoiding those of dubious origin;
❒ If a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve;
❒ to allow even wear between the front and rear
tyres, it is advisable to change them over every
10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the
same side of the vehicle so as not to reverse
the direction of rotation.
Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on
the correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
If the pressure is too low the tyre
overheats and can be seriously
damaged.
Do not switch tyres from the right­hand
side of the vehicle to the left­hand
side, and vice versa.
