CAUTION
•
If differently sized tyres are used between the front and rear axles, do not
exchange tyres between the front and rear axles; otherwise, the tyres get
loaded beyond their limits. This is highly dangerous because the tyres and disc
wheels could be break down under an excessive load.
ADVICE
•
The tightening torque of the wheel nuts may decrease after a tyre change due
to their initial settlement. Upon driving 50 to 100 km (31 to 62 miles) after a
tyre change, retighten the wheel nuts to the specified torques according to the
instructions in the "Retightening Wheel Nuts" section in this chapter.
