„Series 80“ tyres
„Series 80“ tyres
Tyres of the „80“ series (e.g. 145/80 R 13 74 S) will replace the „82“ series (e.g. 145/82 R 13 74 S). Lawmakers have stipulated that „82“ series tyres may be replaced by „80“ series tyres without having been entered in the vehicle documents.
The condition for this is that the „80“ series tyres have the same width, be of the same type – cross-ply or radial belted – and have the same or higher load index.
If only „80“ series tyres are entered in the vehicle documents, „82“ series tyres may only be used if an entry has been made in the vehicle documents.
