* Any other tyres are forbidden. Advice and Recommendations
For your safety, it is essential that the tyres are in good condition.
Ensure that the tyre pressures, including the spare, are maintained at the recommended pressures. They should be
checked regularly, once a month for example, and before every long journey. The pressures should only be checkedwhen the tyres are coldas pressure increases as the tyre temperature increases with driving.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.
Snow chains must only be fitted to the front wheels
