7.10.4 Changing the wheels
The wear on tyres varies depending on whether the axle
– is driven/not driven,
– is steered/not steered,
– is braked/not braked
– and whether it is subject to more or less load.
To achieve even wear, you must swap the wheels to different positions
regularly.
This will have a positive effect on tyre life and performance.

shop;
