Tyre damage
Tyre damage may be caused e.g. by:
the vehicle's operating conditions,
curbs,
foreign bodies,
inadequate tyre inflation pressure,
weather and environmental factors,
contact with oils, greases, fuels, etc.
Accident risk!
Driving over curbs or sharp
edged objects can cause damage to the
tyre's carcass that is not externally
visible. Damage to the tyre's carcass
will only become evident much later
and may result in tyre damage. You
could lose control of your vehicle as a
result and cause an accident which
could injure yourself or others.
Accident risk!
Never clean tyres with high
pressure equipment. This could lead to
tyre damage and failure. You could con
sequently cause an accident or injure
yourself or other persons.
Tyres and wheels
Interchanging wheels
Accident risk!
Do not interchange the front and
rear wheels as they have different di
mensions, e.g. rim size, wheel offset
etc.
Clean the contact surface of the wheels
and brake disc/inner side of the wheel
each time the wheels are changed. Check
the tyre inflation pressure.
