Vehicle Care
The tread or sidewall is cut, split,
or cracked deep enough to
expose the cord or fabric.
The tyre has a bump or bulge in
it, indicating some kind of
internal damage.
The tyre has a puncture, cut or
other damage which cannot be
repaired because of the size or
location of the damage.
The cord or fabric is showing.
Warning
Do not attempt to drive on a flat
tyre more than is necessary to
stop safely. Driving even a short
distance can damage the tyre and
wheel beyond repair. Tyres which
have been repaired or retreaded
are not capable of being driven
safely at high speeds. Therefore,
their use is not recommended.
Tyre Rotation
It is recommended that you:
Rotate tyres approximately every
year or 15,000 km, whichever
occurs first.
Driving conditions, driving
techniques, vehicle loading and
weather may warrant more
frequent tyre checks and
rotation.
Front and rear tyres can wear
differently depending on:
Types of roads driven on
Driving habits
Tyre pressures
Wheel alignment and balance
New tyres should be fitted in pairs to
the front. If replacing only one tyre,
pair it on the same axle with the
least worn of the other three.
Warning
Vehicles fitted with different size
tyres on the front and rear axles
cannot be rotated.
Buying New Tyres
Refer to the tyre placard on the
vehicle for tyre size and load rating.
Using a different size or type of tyre
may affect:
Ride
Handling
Speedometer accuracy
Vehicle ground clearance
Vehicle payload capacity
