13.4 Handling of Tyres
Drive over kerbs at an obtuse angle.
Otherwise the flanks of the tyres may get pinched. Driving over a kerb at a sharp angle can dam-
age the tyre and result in it getting ruptured.
Drive over high manhole covers at a slow speed.
Otherwise the tyres may get pinched. Driving over a high manhole cover at high speed can dam-
age the tyre and result in it getting ruptured.
Check the shock absorbers regularly. Driving with poor shock absorbers significantly increases
wear.
Avoid block brakings. A block braking gives the tyres "brake plates" of varying strength, which
reduce comfort and can render the tyres immobile.
Do not clean the tyres with a high-pressure cleaner. The tyres can suffer serious damage within
just a few seconds and rupture as a result.
