General recommendations
General recommendations
The existence of damages on the tyres may have serious consequences.
The best hypothesis for an anticipated detection is the regular control performed by the driver
Tyres already damaged do not resist to driving conditions as high speed, long distances, sporty driving and similar ones.
The damage in a tyre may have several factors:
t  Driving with insufficient air pressure
t  Failure when assembling the tyres.
t  Damage caused by crashes
t  Aging
t  Incorrect storage
  WARNING
Always when there is the suspicion of a risk for the safety, the tyre must be changed.
