Profile Depth And Age Of Tires - FENDT Bianco Series Manual

4.3 Profile depth and age of tires

04-2
If the tire pressure is too low, the tire
can overheat. This can result in
serious damage.
Please refer to the table on tires/tire
pressure in the chapter on „Technical
Data" or the label in the gas-bottle
container for the correct tire pressure.
New tires are needed (at the latest) when the
profile depth measures 1.6 mm.
Tires age even when used rarely or
not at all.
Tire manufacturers' recommendation
•
Change tires after six years, regardless of
profile depth.
•
Avoid striking curbs, potholes or other
obstacles.
Age of tires
Tires should not be more than 6 years old, be-
cause on the one hand your permission to drive
the camper at 100 km/h will elapse after this
period and, on the other, the material wears out
due to age and if the tires stand too long in one
spot. The 4-digit DOT number on the side of the
tire (if necessary, check the inside) shows the
date of manufacture. The first 2 digits refer to the
week, the last 2 to the year it was manufactured.
Example:
DOT 0808 refers to week 08 in manufacturing
year 2008.
