228 Vehicle care
• If there is more wear on the front
tyres than on the rear, swap the
front and rear wheels.
Ensure that the direction of
rotation of the wheels is the
same as previous.
• Tyres age, even if they are not
used. Replacement of tyres
every six years is recommended.
Warning
Do not attempt to drive on a
at tyre more than is necessary
to stop safely. Driving even a
short distance can damage the
tyre and wheel beyond repair.
Tyres which have been repaired
or retreaded are not capable
of being driven safely at high
speeds. Therefore, their use is
not recommended.
Tyre rotation
It is recommended that you:
• Rotate tyres approximately every
year or 15,000 km, whichever
occurs îš¿rst.
Driving conditions, driving
techniques, vehicle loading
and weather may warrant
more frequent tyre checks and
rotation.
Front and rear tyres can wear
differently depending on:
• Types of roads driven on
• Driving habits
• Tyre pressures
• Wheel alignment and balance
New tyres should be îš¿tted in pairs
to the front. If replacing only one
tyre, pair it on the same axle with the
least worn of the other three.
