SAFETY Tires andWheels

Tire profiles A minimum profile depth is prescribed for tires by law. Observe the legislation for the relevant country. For safety reasons, change your tires before reaching the legally advised minimum profile depth. WARNING An excessively low tire profile may cause loss of handling at high speeds in case of rain or snow mud conditions. You may loose your handling and cause an accident in these conditions.

The Condition of the Tires Check the following conditions regularly every 2 weeks and before a long haul to inspect the condition of the tires: -External damage -Cracks and bulges on the tires, -Foreign material in the tire profile, - Irregular wear of the profile. WARNING Do not forget that the external damages, bulges and cracks on the tires may cause blowout of the tire. You may cause an accident in these conditions.

One of the most important safety elements on your vehicle is the tires. Check the tire pressure and condition periodically. Do not drive your vehicle with worn tires. -When the tire pressure is very low, tires may get extremely heated, worn and these may cause excessive fuel consumption. -When the tire pressure is very high, this may cause longer braking distance, worse handling and excessive wear on tires. -If the pressure loss happens continuously, this may be caused by external damages, cracks, foreign material in the tires and faulty tire valves leaking air. WARNING Please, observe the prescribed tire pressure for your vehicle. Very low tire pressure may cause blow-out of the tire at high speeds and loads. You can cause an accident and thus injuries to others due to this.
