LOWLANDER180 & 230 WIDEBODY MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL TYRES AND WHEELS Tyre and wheel maintenance. Maintenance of correct inflation pressure is the basic essential factor in obtaining the best performance and life from a pneumatic tyre. The air inside the tyre enables it to carry a load. It is only when the inflation pressure is correctly matched that the tyre adopts its optimum cross-sectional shape and the tread rests correctly on the road surface with the correct pressure distribution across its whole width, thus allowing the sidewalls to provide the required degree of flexibility.
