Wheels and tires - general information

All vehicles are described in this manual are equipped with metric size radial tires with steel or fiberglass breaker. Using other sizes could have a negative impact on the quality of the ride and handling. Never install in the car tires of various types, as the simultaneous use of radial and bias-girdling is fraught with serious complications in driving. The drafters of the Guidelines recommend that at the same time to replace the two wheels of one axle. In the case of the replacement of only one wheel, be sure the frame size, structure and tread pattern replacement wheel remains.

Since the tire pressure has a significant influence on the car's speed and tread wear at least once a month and before long trips should be tested tire inflation pressure (Head of Adjustment and routine maintenance).

Replacement drives should be carried out in case of deformation (bending and dents), the emergence of air leakage, the appearance of roundness of the bolt holes, severe corrosion and vertical asymmetry or the inability to adequately tighten the wheel nuts.

Accuracy of wheel balancer has a significant impact on the car's handling and efficiency of its inhibition. Violation of wheel balancing reduces the car's handling and ride comfort, as well as shorten the life of tires. When replacing the tires must immediately spend balancing of wheels (contact fitting center).
