- βΈCheck tyre pressure when tyres are COLD (before driving more than 2 km)
- βΈRotate tyres every 20,000 km β front tyres wear faster on FWD vehicles
- βΈCheck tread depth β minimum 1.6 mm. Wear indicators are located in 6 areas of each tyre.
- βΈRegularly check spare tyre pressure
- βΈAlways use the same type and size tyre on all four wheels
