Tread wear indicator
The tires of your vehicle have molded-in
tread wear indicators in the grooves. When
the indicators appear on the tread surface,
the remaining depth of the tread is 1.6 mm or
less and the tires should be replaced.
Tires air pressure
Measure the air pressure of the tires at least
once per week, when the tires are cold. Under
inflation can cause causes heat and reduce
the life of the tire. Over inflation can have
negative effects on the convenient driving.
Tire size
Your vehicle tire size is molded on its wall
as follows:
185/65 R15, in which 185 is the tire width in
mm, 65 is the ration of the tire height to its
width, R indicates radial structure and 15 is
the diameter of the wheel in inch.
Tire rotations in vehicle
Front tires wear more than rear tires due to
braking, driving and steering forces in front
wheel drive vehicles. So it is recommended
to rotate tires as follows after each 10000
km. to avoid uneven wear of your tires.
Tire inspection
Drive always while considering the situation of
the vehicle's tires. Inspect regularly the treads
and sidewalls of the tires to find if there is any
damage (particularly cracks and nodes).
CHANGING WHEELS
Puncture
Punctures tire should be taken out and
inspected before patching.
To avoid further possible damages to the
tire, it should be repaired by skilled person.
All repairs should be performed by skilled
persons who undertake full responsibility of
the repair quality.
Warning
-Damaged tires are dangerous. Avoid
driving with damaged, worn or over-
inflated tires.
-Use always same type radial tires for
front and rear wheels. Never use tires with
crisscross pattern. Your vehicles wheels are
not for tubed tires. Do not use tubed tires.
-Never drive with worn, cracked and
unadjusted air pressure tires. Under-inflated
tires are worn rapidly, cause increase of
the fuel consumption and decrease of
steerability.
