TYRES
Tyre and wheel safety
Thetyresaretheonlycontact
between the vehicle and the road, so
it is essential to keep them in good
condition.
Youmustmakesurethatyourtyres
comply with local road regulations.
When they need to be
replaced, only tyres of
the same make, size, type
and profile should be
used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your
RENAULT Dealer.
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have
sufficient depth; tyres approved by
RENAULT's Technical Department
have wear warning strips 1 in the
form of indicators moulded into the
tread at several points.
When the tyre tread has been
eroded to the level of the warning
strips, they become visible 2: it is
then necessary to replace your tyres
because the read rubber is no longer,
1.6 mm deep and this causes poor
road holding on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, 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.
Incidents which occur
when driving, such as
striking the kerb, may
damage the tyres and
rims and could lead to
misalignmentofthefrontaxle
geometry. In this case, have the
condition of these checked by a
RENAULT Dealer.
