206 If and when
• The tread depth of new tyres can vary due to construction and
design features, and depending on version and manufactures.
• Check tyres for damage from time to time (cuts, splits, cracks and
lumps) and remove any foreign bodies embedded in the treads.
• To avoid damage to tyres and wheels drive over curbs and similar
obstacles very slowly and as nearly at right angles as possible.

• Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
• Replace missing dust caps as soon as possible.
• Mark wheels before taking them off so that they rotate in the
same direction when put back on again.
• When taken off, the tyres should be stored in a cool, dry and
preferably dark place.
Tyres which are not on wheels should be stored in a vertical
position.

It is imperative that the designated direction of rotation for tyre treads
(which can be determined from the arrow on the side of the tyre) be kept to.
The best tyre performance i.e. in aquaplaning, road adhesion, noise and

wear is then guaranteed.
Tyre life
Tyre life depends to a considerable extent on the following
factors:
