Use of unsuitab le tyres or wheels m ay
lead to accidents and render the vehicle
unroa dworthy .
Fitti ng new tyr es
Fit tyres in pa irs or in sets, which is even
better. Ensure tha t tyres on one axle are
z the same siz e
z the same design
z the same make
z and have the same tread pattern.
Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the
direction of trav el. The rolling direction is
indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on
the sidewall.
Tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction
(such as when changing a ty re) should b e
refitted as soon as possible. This is the only
way to benefit fully from the d esign
properties of the tyre.
