iagnosis and Testing
General Not

es
1.
1. Factory in
stalled tires and wheels are designed to provide optimum ride and ha
ndling characteristics when inflated
to the recommended inflation pressures, with vehicle loads not exceeding the full-rated load capacity.
2. 2. Correct tire pressures and driv ing technique have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessively
rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
3. 3. Replacement tires should follow the recommended:
Size
.
Speed

rating.
Load range. Radial c

onstruction type.
4. 4. The use of any other size or type of wheel / tire may seriously affect:
Safety. Ri

Handlin

5. 5. Wheels must be renewed when:
Impact damaged. Heavil
