Spare wheel
Wheel and
tyre balancing
Radial-ply
tyres
The spare wheel is secured to the floor of the luggage compartment on tourer
cars and below the luggage compartment floorboard on G T cars. To gain access
to the spare wheel on GT cars (Fig. 5) turn back the luggage compartment floor
covering, unscrew the two quick-release screws and lift the floorboard.
The spare wheel supplied with new cars is inflated above the recommended
running pressure. The pressure must be checked and adjusted before use.
Unbalanced wheel and tyre assemblies may be responsible for abnormal wear
of the tyres and vibration in the steering. Consult your Distributor/Dealer.
Radial-ply tyres should only be fitted in sets of four, although in certain circum-
stances it is permissible to fit
a
pair on the rear wheels; tyres of different con-
struction must not be used on the same axle. A pair must never be fitted to the
front wheels with conventional tyres a t the rear. Consult your Distributor or
Dealer before changing to radial-ply tyres.
The positional changing of wheels must not be undertaken if radial-ply tyres
have been fitted to the rear wheels only.
