General information
As tyre damage can have serious consequences, you and the driver should regularly check the tyres to identify any problems at an early stage.
Damaged tyres cannot withstand driving conditions such as high speed, long distances, sporty driving, and so on.
Damage can be caused in a number of ways:
t  Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
t  Assembly error when tyres were fitted on rims
t  Damage by embedding objects
t  Ageing
t  Improper storage
  WARNING
Whenever a safety risk cannot be ruled out, the tyre must be renewed.
