Tire Replacement And Wheel hterchanging
WARNING: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CROSS-PLY TIRES BE FITTED.
When renewal of tires is necessary, it is preferable to fit a complete set.
Should eitherfront or reartires only (i.e.
notthe full set) show a necessityfor renewal, newtires must befitted to replace
the worn ones.
No attempt must be made to interchange tires from the front to the rear orvice-versa, as wear produces a characteristic
pattern on each tire depending upon its position on the vehicle. If this position is changed after wear has occurred, the
performance of the tire will be adversely affected.
It should be remembered that new tires must be balanced.
The radial ply tires specified here are designed to meet the high speed performance of this vehicle. Only tires of ident
- ical specification as shown in this section must be fitted as replacements. If two replacement tires are fitted to one axle,
they must be of the same type and pattern as those on the other axle, i.e. tires must be used in sets of four of the same
manufacturer and tread pattern,
not intermixed.
