Car Tyres: the Ten Commandments for Preventive Maintainance

1- Pressures should be checked periodically when the tyres (including the spare) are cold. Never "bleed" or reduce inflation pressure when the tyres are hot (during or immediately after a journey), as it is normal for the pressure to increase in relation to the recommended cold values.
2- Tyres must be replaced when worn to the tread wear indicators, even if only in one part of the tread.
3- Check the steering alignment periodically and/or following impacts or irregular wear.
4- Wheels should be balanced periodically and/or when vibration occurs.
5- Following impacts and punctures ask your dealer to examine the tyre by removing it from the rim to ensure there is no internal damage.
6- Never park on patches of oil, solvents, etc., as they may cause tyre damage.
7- Observe the service description (speed symbol/category and load index.
8- Radial tyres (even when new) must always be fitted on the rear axle; winter or studded tyres must fitted in complete sets.
9- Driving style and speed directly affect tyre life.
10- Have tyres inspected regularly by a reputable dealer.
