It is necessary to observe the guidelines given on ⇒ page 240 if the vehicle is
subsequently fitted with tyres which are different to those it was fitted with
at the works.
Note
If you find, when changing the wheel, that the wheel bolts are corroded and
difficult to turn, the bolts must be replaced before checking the tightening torque.
Drive cautiously and only at a moderate speed to a workshop where the tight-
ening torque can be checked.
