Purchase New Tires

When you purchase new tires, make sure
that the size, load range, rated speed and
types of the construction of the new tires
are the same as those of the original tires.
In this way, the vehicle will exhibit an excel-
lent and safe performance just like before
when it is in normal use after the tires are
replaced. We recommend that all four tires
should be replaced together. This is
because that the uniform tread depth on all
tires helps the vehicle to achieve a perfor-
mance as close as possible to the perfor-
mance when the tires are new. If they are
not replaced together, this may affect the
vehicle braking and handling performance.
Refer to "Inspection and Rotation of Tire" in
Section 7 "Service and Maintenance" for
information about proper tire rotation.
Mixing tires may result in a loss of
vehicle control while driving. If you
mix tires of a different size or type (radial
tires or bias-belted tires), the vehicle may
be involved in a collision due to poor han-
dling. Using tires of a different size and type
may also cause vehicle damage. All wheels
must use tires of correct sizes and types.
If bias-ply tires are used on the vehi-
cle, rim flanges may crack after a cer-
tain mileage. The tires and/or wheels may
suddenly lose control, causing a collision.
Therefore, only radial tires can be used on
your vehicle.
Tires or Wheels of a Different
Size
If you use wheels and tires of a different
size from the original ones, this may affect
your vehicle performances, such as brak-
ing, riding, handling, stability and anti-roll-
over, etc.
If your vehicle is equipped with electronic
system, such as anti-lock brake system,
rollover airbag system, traction control sys-
tem and electronic stability control system,
etc., these systems may also be affected.
If you have chosen a tire of a specifi-
cation other than that recommended
in this manual, your vehicle could not
achieve satisfactory
safety, and the risk of collisions and serious
injuries will be increased. Use only the
specified wheel and tire system developed
for your vehicle and have it correctly
installed by the technicians approved by
Geely Service Station.
Wheel Alignment and Tire Bal-
ance
To maximum the life of the tires and provide
optimum overall performance, the tires and
wheels are aligned and balanced carefully
at the factory. It is unnecessary to adjust
the wheel alignment and tire balance regu-
larly. However, if abnormal tire wear or
vehicle pull is found, the wheel alignment
should be checked. If the vehicle bumps
while driving on the flat road surfaces, the
tires and wheels may require re-balancing.
Have your Geely Service Station perform
proper diagnosis.
