When to replace the old tyre
You can determine when to replace the
tyre according to the abrasion indication
mark on the tyre surface. When the tyre
surface is worn and its thickness is
1.6mm or below, the abrasion indication
mark on the tyre surface will appear.
If found any one of the following condi鄄
tions, replace the tyre with a new one:
淫 There are at least 3 abrasion indi鄄
cation marks on the tyre.
淫 The tyre rubber takes on yarn or
cord.
淫 The tyre surface and tyre side
cracks, and the cracks are deep e鄄
nough for seeing the yarn or cord.
淫 There are lumps, upwarping and
layering on the tyre.
淫 The tyre is punctured and broken or
it has other damages. The damage
range and places are difficult to repair.
Purchasing new tyres
See the tyre and weight information
scrolling on the vehicle, and know about
the required tyre model and size.
Make sure that the size, load index,
speed grade and structure type (diago鄄
nal tyre, bias belted tyre or braced -
tread tyre) of the replaced tyre are the
same as that of the original tyre.
Notes
Intermix using tyre may cause the vehi鄄
cle out of control when driving. If you
intermix using the tyre of different size
or model (braced-tread tyre and bias
belted tyre), you will not control the ve鄄
hicle normally, and may cause acci鄄
dent. The vehicle will be damaged for
using the tyre of different size. There鄄
fore, the same size and model tyre
must be used for all the wheels.

MO TORS
Tyre inspection and rearrangement
Rearrange the tyre from every 8000 to
13000km.
Rearrange the tyre as soon as possible
and inspect the wheel alignment if ab鄄
normal abrasion is found. Meanwhile,
inspect whether the wheel or tyre is
damaged.
The purpose of regular tyre rearrange鄄
ment is to make the tyre abrasion to be
even. The first rearrangement is the
most important.
When rearranging the tyre, make sure
that rearrange the tyre in proper mode
shown in the figure.
Do not use compact spare tyre when re鄄
arranging.
After rearranging, adjust the inflation
pressure of front and rear tyre in accor鄄
dance with the tyre and weight informa鄄
tion scrolling. Make sure that all the
wheel nuts are fixed properly and tightly.
Notes
The rust or dirt on the wheel or wheel
connecting parts will make the wheel
nuts loosen after a long time. The wheel
may come off the vehicle and lead to
accident. Before replacing the wheel,
any rust or dirt on the wheel or wheel
connecting parts must be removed. Re鄄
move them with cloth or tissue in an e鄄
mergency; after that, remove all the rust
or dirt with strickle and steel wire brush
if necessary.
