Tyre sizes for vehicles with four-wheel drive
Tyre sizes for vehicles with four-wheel drive
The following points must be observed for vehicles with four-wheel drive:
t  Only tyres of the same make, design and tread pattern may be fitted to the front and rear axles.
t  Different tyre rolling circumferences produce stress in the drive train which increases tyre wear and may damage the drive train.
t  These restrictions also apply to front and rear tyres with greatly differing stages of wear. In such cases, tyres with the most tread must be fitted on the front axle.
