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

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.
