Tyre replacement

If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread wear indicator appears as a solid band across the tread.

  1. Tread wear indicator

This indicator shows that there is less than 1.6 mm (1/16 inches) of tread left on the tyre. Replace the tyre when this indicator appears.

Do not wait for the band to appear across the entire tread before replacing the tyre.

The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) works by comparing the speed of the wheels. The tyre size affects the wheel speed. When replacing the tyres, all four tyres must be the same size as the original ones supplied with the vehicle. Using tyres of a different size can prevent the ABS and ESC from working correctly.

It is best to replace all four tyres at the same time. If that is not possible or necessary, replace the two front or two rear tyres as a pair. Replacing just one tyre can seriously affect your vehicle’s handling.

NOTE

When you replace the tyres, use the same type of tyres as the ones originally supplied with the vehicle to avoid impacting the driving performance.
