Leather is a natural product. It has natural
surface properties, such as di.erences in
st ru cture, mar kscaused bygrow thand injury
or subtle colour di.erences. These sur face
properties are characteristics of leather and
not material faults. What's more, leather is
subject toa natural ageing process during
which the sur face properties change.

Maintenance and care

The
wear patterns on the front and rear wheels
di.er:
R front wheels wear more on the tyre shoulder
R rear wheels wear more in the centre of the
tyre
Do not drive with tyres that ha vetoo little tread
dep th. This signi/cantly 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.
Ensu rethe direction of rotation is maintained for
