Have the old tyres inspected
by an experienced tyre fitter,
to make sure they can still be
used safely. If the same tyre has been
on your vehicle for 4 or 5 years, have it
inspected anyway by an experienced
tyre fitter.
Never fit tyres of uncertain
origin.
"Directional" tyres have an
arrow on their side showing
the rolling direction. To keep
the best performance when replacing
a tyre, make sure that the rolling
direction corresponds to the one
shown by the arrow.

Wheels and tyres
During the tyre life, the rolling
direction used for the first
fitting shall always be
observed, also in case of "non-
directional" tyres.
Check the depth of the tyre
tread at regular intervals
(minimum allowed value 1.6
mm). The thinner is the tread, the
greater is the risk of skidding.
Drive carefully on wet roads
to decrease the risk of
aquaplaning.
