wise be adversely affected. In addition,
when driving with a load, dimensional var-
iations and different tyre deformation
characteristics could cause the tyres to
make contact with the bodywork and axle
components. This could result in damage to
the tyres or the vehicle.
smart accepts no liability for damage
resulting from the use of tyres or wheels
other than those tested and approved.
Information on wheels and tyres can be
obtained at a qualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. a smart centre.
!
Retreaded tyres have not been tested by
smart and the fitment of such tyres is not
recommended. Previous damage sustained
by the tyres (before the retreading process)
cannot always be recognised. As a result,
smart cannot guarantee vehicle safety if
retreaded tyres are fitted.
!
Large wheels: the lower the section width
for a certain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Roll com-
fort and suspension comfort are reduced
and the risk of damage to the wheels and
tyres as a result of driving over obstacles
increases.
