Profile Depth And Age Of Tires - Hobby 400 SF De Luxe Manual

4.3 Pro.le depth
and age of tires
04-2
If the tire pressure is too low, the tire
can overheat. This can result in
serious damage.
The correct tire pressure is given in
the table on wheels/tire pressure
found under "Technical Information"
or on the labels in the gas-bottle
container and on the wheel cover.
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 00 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 0408 means week 04 in production year
2008.
