Tyres - direction of rotation

Tyres with a tread pattern which are designed to

only turn in one direction have the direction of

rotation marked with an arrow.

G021778

The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation.

The tyre must always rotate in the same direction

throughout its lifespan. Tyres should only be

switched between front and rear positions, never

between left and right-hand sides, or vice versa. If

the tyres are fitted incorrectly, the car's braking

characteristics and capacity to force rain and

slush out of the way are adversely affected. Tyres

with the greatest tread depth should always be

fitted to the rear of the car (to decrease the risk

of skidding).

NOTE

Make sure that both pairs of wheels have the

same type and dimension, and also the same

make.

Follow the recommended tyre pressures speci-

fied in the tyre pressure table (p. 443).
