Tyre economy

To preserve your tyres as much as possible, there are some things you should keep in mind.
  • Correct tyre pressure reduces uneven wear. It's important to check the pressure regularly.
  • Hard acceleration, heavy braking and driving in a way which causes screeching tyres lead to increased tyre wear.
  • Tyre wear increases with speed.
  • Unbalanced wheels cause uneven and excessive tyre wear and reduced ride comfort.
  • Wheels must have the same direction of rotation during their entire service life.
  • The rear tyre grip should always be equal to, or better than, the front tyre grip to reduce the risk of oversteering in case of heavy braking.
  • Tyres or wheel rims may be damaged permanently if you hit kerb stones or drive into deep holes.
  • Driving style, road conditions and climate affect the tyre wear.
