holding if a combination of tyres different
from those indicated is used.
•Front and rear tyres must have the same
design and be of the same make.
•The use of valves and valve stems other
than those indicated might cause the loss
of tyre pressure at high speeds. Use only
original or compatible spare parts.
•Replace the valve cap securely to prevent
