Wheels and tyres

06

General

Tyres greatly affect the car’s driving charac-

teristics. The type of tyre, dimensions, tyre

pressure and speed rating are important for

how the car performs.

Direction of rotation

The arrow shows the tyre’s direction of rotation

Tyres with a tread pattern which are

designed to only turn in one direction have

the direction of rotation marked with an

arrow. The tyre must always rotate in the

same direction throughout its lifespan. Tyres

should only be switched between front and

rear positions, never between left and right-

hand sides, or vice versa. If the tyre is

mounted incorrectly, the car’s braking char-

acteristics and capacity to force rain and

slush out of the way are adversely affected.

Follow the recommended tyre pressures

specified on the tyre pressure label, see

page 216.
