Changing t t he w w heels r r ound
If the front tyres are worn more than the
rear it is advisable to change the wheels
round as shown. All tyres will then have
approximately the same length of service
life.
With certain types of tread wear, it can be
better to change the wheels diagonally.
For more details, contact a Technical
Service Centre.
