Tyres

If a wheel or tyre is changed any
replacement must be of the same type
of construction and size.
The law requires that the tyres and pressures
must be suitable for the use to which they
are being put. The minimum tread depth
must be 1.6mm throughout a continuous
band comprising the centre three-quarters
of the breadth of the tread and around the
circumference of the tyre.
Please refer to base vehicle manufacturer's
handbook for tyre pressure information.
This may also be displayed in the driver's or
passenger's door aperture.
The motorhome tyre pressure noted in the
Technical book are the pressures stated by
Fiat for your vehicle calculated in a fully laden
condition. If you are not running fully laden,
reduced pressures could be used but please
seek clarification from the tyre manufacturer.
