Note
●
The inappropriate wheel counterweights will result in insecure clamping and falloff to
harm your vehicle or surrounding objects during driving.
●
The inappropriate wheel counterweights will damage the aluminum wheel rims of
your vehicle. Therefore, it's recommended to use original wheel counterweights to
maintain balance.
Replace the wheel
■
In order to ensure the uniform wear and
extend the service life of the tires, it is
recommended to perform the tire
transposition regularly and check the
four-wheel alignment.
■
If the spare wheel is used on the
vehicle, do not operate the wheel
rotation.
■
While purchasing replacement tire, you may find out Some tires are directional and
can be used for tire rotation only along one direction. For the use of directional tires,
swap the front tires with rear tires only during the tire rotation, as shown in above
diagram.
Replacement of tire and wheel
■
The original tires of this vehicle are selected for the purpose of playing the maximum
vehicle performance and are the optimal combination to provide you with best
maneuverability, riding comfort, and operating life.
■
It's recommended to replace with original tires by a BYD Auto Authorized Service
Station.
■
The replacement with radial tires of different specification, load range, rated speed, or
maximum cold pressure (Marked on the sidewall of tires) or the mixed use of radial
tires and bias-ply tires will deteriorate the braking capacity, drive force (Ground
adhesion), and steering accuracy of the vehicle.
■
The installation of inappropriate tires will impair the operating flexibility and stability of
vehicle and probably result in accident and casualties.
