TYRES
Tyre safety - road wheels
The tyres are the only contact
between the vehicle and the road, so
it is essential to keep them in good
condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road regulations.
When they need to be
replaced, only tyres of
the same
dimension,
profile should be used.
When fitting tyres to the car,
they should either be identical to
those fitted originally
conform to those recommended
by your Renault Dealer.

and the tread form must have
sufficient depth; tyres approved by

When the tread has worn down to
the level of these risers, they may be
seen 2. The tyre concerned must
then be changed as only about
1.6 mm of tread rubber remains; this
is insufficient for maintaining a
good grip on wet roads.
Incidents which occur
driving, such as striking the kerb,
may damage the tyres and could
lead to misalignment of the front
axle geometry.
An overloaded car, long journeys by
motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on
poorly surfaced minor roads will
lead to more rapid tyre wear and
affect safety.
