— How well the tyres are balanced.
— Adjustments made to the running gear.
Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking all increase tyre wear.
Wheel imbalance may develop when the ve-
hicle is driven; you will notice this by the
nervous steering response. Unbalanced
wheels will affect the level of tyre wear. In
this case the wheels should be balanced
again.
Incorrect wheel alignment causes excessive
tyre wear, impairing the safety of the vehicle.
The wheel alignment should be checked by
a qualified workshop if tyres show excessive
wear.
WARNING
If you notice unusual vibration or the car
pulling to one side while the vehicle is in
motion, this may indicate that one of the
tyres is damaged.
·
Reduce speed immediately and park the
vehicle without obstructing traffic.
·
Check the tyres and wheel rims for dam-
age.
·
Never drive on if tyres or wheel rims are
damaged. Seek expert assistance in-
stead.
·
If there is no visible damage, drive slow-
ly and cautiously to the next qualified
workshop in order to have the vehicle
checked.
