WHEN TYRES ARE OLD, THE MATERIAL MAY HARDEN AND NOT PROVIDE
ADEQUATE ROAD HOLDING, EVEN IF TYRES ARE STILL WITHIN THE WEAR
LIMIT. REPLACE TYRES IF THIS OCCURS. REPLACE THE TYRE IF IT IS WORN
OR IF THERE IS A PUNCTURE LARGER THAN 5 mm (0.197 in) IN THE TREAD
AREA.
WHEEL MUST BE BALANCED AFTER A TYRE IS MENDED.
USE ONLY TYRE SIZES INDICATED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DO NOT FIT
TYRES WITH INNER TUBES ON RIMS FOR TUBELESS TYRES OR VICE VERSA.
CHECK THAT THE INFLATION VALVES HAVE THEIR CAPS FITTED TO AVOID
UNEXPECTED FLAT TYRES.
REPLACEMENT, REPAIR, MAINTENANCE AND BALANCING OPERATIONS
ARE HIGHLY IMPORTANT AND SO THEY SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT USING
THE SPECIFIC TOOLS AND WITH THE ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE. HAVE YOUR
TYRES AND WHEELS SERVICED AT AN OFFICIAL DEALER OR A SPECIALISED
TYRE WORKSHOP.
NEW TYRES MAY BE COATED WITH AN OILY FILM: RIDE WITH CAUTION DUR-
ING THE FIRST KILOMETRES. DO NOT APPLY UNSUITABLE LIQUIDS ON
TYRES.
Minimum tread depth:
front and rear 2 mm (0.079 in) (USA 3 mm) (USA 0.118 in) and anyway not lower to
what it is specified in the current legislation in the country in which the vehicle is used.
