TYRES
Tyre safety - wheels
The tyres are the only contact
between the vehicle and the road, so
it is essential to keep them in good
condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road regulations.
When they need to be
replaced, only tyres of
the same make,
dimension, type and
profile should be used.
When fitting tyres to the car,
they should either be identical
to those originally fitted or
conform to those recommended
by your Renault Dealer.
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
andthetreadmustbeofasufficient
depth; tyres approved by our
Technical Department have wear
warning strips 1 which are risers
moulded into the tread at several
points.
When the tread has worn down to
the level of these risers, they
become visible 2. The tyre
concerned must then be changed as
only about 1.6 mm of tread rubber
remains; this is insufficient for
maintaining a good grip on wet
roads.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the kerb,
may damage the tyres and could
lead to misalignment of the front
axle geometry.
An overloaded car, long journeys by
motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on
poorly surfaced minor roads will
lead to more rapid tyre wear and
affect safety.
