WARNING
śꢀ Do not use the compact spare tyre for
tyre rotation.
śꢀ Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tyres under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
OLMB073027
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) of tread left
on the tyre. Replace the tyre when this
happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replacing
the tyre.
Wheel alignment and tyre
balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned
and balanced carefully at the factory to
give you the longest tyre life and best
overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have
your wheels aligned again. However,
if you notice unusual tyre wear or your
vehicle pulling one way or the other, the
alignment may need to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating when
driving on a smooth road, your wheels
may need to be rebalanced.
NOTICE
Incorrect wheel weights can damage
your vehicle’s aluminium wheels. Use
only approved wheel weights.
