Profile Depth And Age Of Tyres - Hobby De Luxe Easy Operation Manual

4.3 Profile depth
and age of tyres
04-2
If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre
can overheat. This can result in
serious damage.
The correct tyre pressure is given in
the table on wheels/tyre pressure
found under "Technical Information"
or on the labels in the gas-bottle
container and on the wheel cover.
New tyres are needed (at the latest) when the
profile depth measures 1.6 mm.
Tyres age even when used rarely or
not at all.
The minimum tread depth only guaran-
tees minimum safety while driving!
Tyre manufacturers' recommendation
•
Change tyres after six years, regardless of
profile depth.
•
Avoid striking curbs, potholes or other
obstacles.
Age of tyres
Tyres should not be more than 6 years old,
because on the one hand your permission to
drive the caravan at 60 mph will elapse after this
period and, on the other, the material wears out
due to age and if the tyres stand too long in one
spot. The 4-digit DOT number on the side of the
tyre (if necessary, check the inside) shows the
date of manufacture. The first 2 digits refer to the
week, the last 2 to the year it was manufactured.
Example:
DOT 0814 means week 8 in the year of manu-
facture (here: 2014)
