Instructions on operation of tires with the directed road drawing



When installing the tires with the directed road drawing (such tires can be recognized by the arrow on the sidewall of the tire) must be required to ensure the desired direction of rotation of the tire. Because of this will ensure optimal behavior of the tire against aquaplaning, grip, noise and traction.

Tire life depends mainly on the following factors.

Tyre pressure

The rated pressure of the air in summer tires are indicated on the sticker inside the cover flap fuel filler.

It is particularly important to maintain the recommended tire pressure when driving at high speeds. Therefore, you should check the tire pressure at least once a month and before every long trip.

At the same time we must not forget to measure the air pressure in the spare wheel.

Emergency spare wheel reduced sizes nominal air pressure indicated on the tire sidewall.

The full-size spare wheel should always be to maintain nominal pressure in the case of a full vehicle load.

Tyre pressure should always be checked when tires are cold. With increased air pressure in the tires should not be heated to release air from the tire. With a significant load change should be changed accordingly air pressure in the tires.

On cars with full-size caps of wheels instead of dustproof caps are extensions for improved ventilation. When checking and adjusting tire pressure is not necessary to unscrew the extension.

Too low or too high tire pressure reduces tire life and impairs driving characteristics.


A warning

Prolonged driving at high speed tire with extremely low pressure is done a lot of work lateral deformation of tires owing to what tires hot. This can lead to the separation of elements treadmills tire and even to rupture it.


An underinflated tire leads to increased fuel consumption. Because of this, there is an excessive load on the environment.
