Tyres should be renewed in sets of 4. If this is
not possible, renew the tyres in pairs (both
front or both rear). When tyres are renewed,
the wheels should always be re-balanced and
alignment checked.
For the correct tyre specification and
pressures, see 231, TYRE PRESSURES.
Alternatively contact a Retailer/Authorised
Repairer for advice.
Replacement TPMS sensor
If a new TPMS sensor is to be fitted to a
standard size running wheel on the vehicle, it
should be installed by a Dealer/Authorised
Repairer. The vehicle needs to be stationary for
15 minutes during the sensor fitment before
the system is ready to detect the new sensor.
The vehicle must be driven for a minimum of
15 minutes after the sensor change, and then
remain stationary for 15 minutes to activate full
TPMS operation.
If the TPMS warning lamp does not extinguish,
even after checking the tyre pressures and
driving for more than ten minutes above 25
km/h (16 mph), seek qualified assistance as
soon as possible.
AVOIDING FLAT SPOTS
In areas of extended high ambient temperature,
vehicle tyres can be affected by a softening of
the tyre sidewall. If the vehicle is stationary for
long periods, the effect is to slightly deform the
tyre at the point where the tyre meets the
standing surface. This is known as a flat spot.
This is normal tyre behaviour. However, when
the vehicle is subsequently driven, vibration
may be experienced from the flat spot. The
condition will steadily improve with extra
mileage.
In order to minimise flat spotting while the
vehicle is stationary for a long period, tyre
pressures can be increased to the maximum as
stated on the tyre sidewall. The tyres must be
returned to the specified running pressures
before driving. See 231, TYRE PRESSURES.
TYRE DEGRADATION
Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of
ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high
loads, and environmental conditions. It is
recommended that tyres are renewed at least
every 6 years, but they may require renewing
more frequently.
USING WINTER TYRES
In many countries legislation exists that
requires the use of winter tyres during
specified periods of the year.
M+S (mud and snow) tyres have a recognised
level of winter performance and need not be
renewed. The M+S marking on the tyre sidewall
indicates an 'all season' tyre designed for use
all year round, including cold temperatures,
snow and ice.
This symbol identifies dedicated
winter tyres, which can be fitted if
optimum winter traction is
required, or the vehicle is to be
used in more extreme winter
conditions.
