TIRE CARE
4. If the tire pressure is too high, remove
the gauge and allow air out of the tire
by pressing the center of the valve.
Reattach the gauge to the valve and
check the pressure.
5. Repeat the process adding or removing
air as required until the correct tire
pressure is reached.
6. Reinstall the valve cap.
Note: It is an offense in certain countries to
drive a vehicle with incorrect tire pressures.
TIRE VALVES
Keep the valve caps screwed down firmly
to prevent water or dirt entering the valve.
Check the valves for leaks when checking
the tire pressures.
FLAT SPOTS
If the vehicle is stationary for a long period,
when the ambient temperature is high, the
tires may form flat spots. When the vehicle
is driven, these flat spots will cause a
vibration which will steadily disappear as
the tires warm up and regain their original
shape.
REPLACEMENT WHEELS AND
TIRES
WARNING: For your safety, it is
recommended that only wheels and
tires that match the original specification
are used on the vehicle.
WARNING: Operation of the TPMS
may be affected if the tires are
replaced with a different specification to
the originals.
Wheel rims and tires are matched to suit
the handling characteristics of the vehicle.
Always check that replacement tires
comply with the original specification. If
tires other than those specified are used,
ensure that the load and speed ratings
(shown on the tire side wall) equal or
exceed those of the original specification.
For the specification of the original wheels
and tires installed on the Karma, refer to
“Tire Specifications” on page 152.
Ideally, tires should be replaced as sets of
four. If this is not possible, replace the tires
in pairs (front and rear). When tires are
replaced, the wheels should always be re-
balanced and the alignment checked.
ASYMMETRIC TIRES
WARNING: Vehicle control and
handling will be seriously impaired if
the tires are incorrectly installed on the
wheels.
Your Revero is equipped with asymmetric
tires which must be mounted on the wheel
with the correct sidewall facing outwards
from the vehicle. In this case, the sidewall of
the tire is marked with the words THIS SIDE
OUTWARDS.
When new tires have been installed,
always make sure that the tires are
correctly orientated to the wheel.
