Handling of tyres


Drive over kerbs at an obtuse angle. Otherwise the flanks of the tyres
may get pinched. Driving over a kerb at a sharp angle can damage the
tyre and result in it getting ruptured.

Drive over high manhole covers at a slow speed. Otherwise the tyres
may get pinched. Driving over a high manhole cover at high speed can
damage the tyre and result in it getting ruptured.

Check the shock absorbers regularly. Driving with poor shock absorbers
significantly increases wear.

In the event of an uneven thread wear, contact customer service.

Do not clean the tyres with a high-pressure cleaner. The tyres can suffer
serious damage within just a few seconds and rupture as a result.

Drive the tyres with care. Avoid braking sharply, revving up too strongly
and journeys on poor roads.

Tyre pressure

 Tyres overheat if the tyre pressure is too low. This can cause serious
tyre damage.
 Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to
tyre burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
 Use only valves that are approved for the specified tyre pressure.
