damaged tires, but have them replaced.
Warning
Tires can become damaged by driving over
obstacles, e.g., curbs or road damage, at
high speed. Larger wheels have a smaller
tire cross-section. The smaller the tire
cross-section, the higher the risk of tire
damage. There is a danger of accidents and
property damage. If possible, avoid driving
over objects or road conditions that may
damage tires, or drive over them slowly
and carefully.

for your vehicle type. Following tire dam-
