For safety reasons, your vehicle should always be fitted with tires of the same model and pattern. protector.
Checking the condition of the tires in the inspection service or periodic
Check the following tire areas for damage:
- tread,
- sidewalls.
Remove foreign objects from the tires, such as nails or splinters.
In addition, check the tires for the following defects:
- abrasions (uneven tread wear),
- one-sided tread wear,
- sidewall porosity,
- cuts,
- punctures.
Checking the tire wear pattern
From the tread pattern of the front wheels, for example, you can determine whether wheel alignment needs to be adjusted.
The formation of burrs on the tire profile leads to the conclusion that the toe is incorrect.
One-sided tread wear in most cases is caused by an incorrect camber angle.
If such wear phenomena are found, care should be taken to determine the cause by checking the wheel alignment (solution in terms of service).
Tire tread height check (including spare wheel)
Minimum tread height: 1.6 mm.
Checking and correcting tire pressure
Please note that the tire pressures given in the table are valid for cold tyres. It is impossible to reduce the increased pressure with warm tires.
Winter tires of the same size as summer tires can be used.
The pressure value for the respective model can also be found on a sticker located on the B-pillar on the driver's side.
Pressure values are given in bar.
Tire pressure must match the load. At the same time, the pressure in the tires of commercial vehicles in the overwhelming majority of cases is maintained at a level corresponding to the full load.
The pressure values are valid for all factory fitted tire sizes!
The indicated tire pressures allow driving with a trailer at speeds up to 130 km/h.

Note: RF (REINFORCED) - additional designation of reinforced tires with increased bearing capacity.
Explanation of the bus speed categories used in the table:
- T: up to 190 km/h,
- H: up to 210 km/h.
