Tyre rotation
E01001900730
Tyre wear varies with vehicl
e conditions, road surface condi-
tions and individual driver’s driving habits. To equalize the wear and help extend tyre life, it is recommended to rotate the tyres immediately after discovery
of abnormal wear, or when-
ever the wear difference between
the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable. When rotating tyres, check fo
r uneven wear and damage.
Abnormal wear is usually cause
d by incorrect tyre pressure,
improper wheel alignment, ou
t of balance wheel, or severe
braking. We recommend you to have it checked to determinethe cause of irregular tread wear.
●
Even if a wheel has the same rim size and offset as the specified type of wheel
, its shape may prevent it
from being fitted correctly. We recommend you toconsult a specialist before
using wheels that you
have.CAUTION
