Note
s on inter changing wheels &
WARNING Risk of injury thro ugh dif fer‐
ent wheel sizes
Inter changing the front and rear wheels if the
wheels or tyres ha vediffere nt dimensions
may se verely impair the driving characteris‐
tics.
The disk brakes or wheel suspension compo‐
nents may also be damaged. #
Rotate front and rear wheels on lyifthe
wheels and tyres are of the same
dimensions. Inter
changing the front and rear wheels if the
wheels or tyres ha vediffere nt dimensions can
re nder thege neral operating pe rmit in valid.
The wear pat tern s on the front and rear wheels
dif fer:
R Front wheels wear more on the shoulder of
th e tyre
R Rear wheels wear more in the cent reofthe
tyre Do not drive wi
thtyres that ha vetoo little tread
dep th. This significantly reduces traction on wet
ro ads (aquaplaning).
On vehicles with the same front and rear wheel
size, you can inter change the wheels every
5,000 to10,000 km, depending on thewe ar.
Ensure the direction of rotation is maintained for
th e wheels.
Obser vethe instructions and saf ety no tes on
"Changing a wheel" when doing so
(/ page 330). Note
